“At the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron and EU representative Charles Michel, there was a meeting in Prague, where readiness was reached that the EU mission would visit Armenia to find out the facts, then they would probably have a report,” Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said during talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.
“I have just been informed that it seems that the EU already has a decision to dispatch such a fact-finding mission,” he added without providing any timeframe for the mission’s possible arrival.
Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed to a two-month civilian EU mission last week, following talks between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The mission is expected to help delineate the disputed border between the two rival post-Soviet states.
