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.
 
"We supported this proposal, and the necessary legal acts are currently being discussed. A decision on the extension is expected in the next few days," Kallas shared.
 
Also, her department stated that since the deployment of the monitoring mission, the number of armed incidents in the Armenian-Azerbaijani border areas has significantly decreased.
 
The day before, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Ararat Mirzoyan, said that the EU mission will continue to monitor the border of Armenia with Azerbaijan until its complete delimitation. Thus, he responded to accusations from Moscow and Baku that the EU mission interferes with the South Caucasus, and its representatives engage in espionage.
