The term of the EU mission in Armenia will be extended
EU member states supported the proposal to extend the EU civilian mission in Armenia for two years. This was reported by the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, Kaya Callas.

Thus, he responded to accusations from Moscow and Baku that the EU mission interferes with the South Caucasus, and its representatives engage in espionage.
