Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 27 / Trend , J. Babayeva/

Azerbaijan sent a military contingent of 45 peacekeepers to Afghanistan, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said. 

In late 2008, the Azerbaijani parliament decided to double the number of its peacekeepers in Afghanistan from 45 to 90.

Azerbaijani peacekeepers have also participated in operations in Kosovo and Iraq.

The peacekeepers have already completed their mission in Iraq.

Azerbaijan withdrew its peacekeepers from Kosovo when Kosovo announced its independence
