The European Union fully understands the interest of the Armenian society in terms of developing Yerevan-Brussels cooperation in the military sphere, we also understand the existing concerns. That is the reason why we want to play a role in the peace agenda. Now we are working to develop cooperation through the European Peace Facility (EPF).
