During talks in Yerevan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan expressed gratitude to European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for their assistance in countering hybrid threats.

Pashinyan emphasized that disinformation is a common problem, affecting EU countries as well, and that Armenia is currently facing it.

"We hope that the EU will support us in sharing experiences or tools already implemented in the EU. We expect greater access to tools for their application in Armenia," he said.

Furthermore, agreements on borders, investments, and strategic partnership were signed during the Armenia-EU summit. The EU plans to send letters of intent to six leading Armenian funds and companies to stimulate investment activity in the country.

Previously, in response to potential hybrid threats, the EU decided to deploy a rapid response team at Armenia's request. Its mission is to manage crisis situations, share intelligence, and identify cases of illegal election financing.

Furthermore, Armenia's Foreign Intelligence Service has reported attempts by foreign intelligence agencies to influence Armenian citizens and individuals of Armenian descent, with the aim of supporting certain political forces. The Investigative Committee of Armenia has opened a criminal investigation, suspecting the involvement of representatives of foreign intelligence services in exerting pressure through politicians, businessmen, and criminal organizations.

Nikol Pashinyan recently expressed his wish that the pro-Russian parties "Strong Armenia" (linked to Russian oligarch Samvel Karapetyan, who is under house arrest) and "Armenia" (led by former President Robert Kocharyan) fail to enter parliament in the June 7 elections.
