EU to Send ‘Civilian Mission’ to Armenia to Mark Border with Azerbaijan
The European Union will send a ‘civilian mission’ to Armenia to help delineate its border with Azerbaijan, stakeholders announced Friday after a meeting with France in Prague.
The mission will start in October for a maximum of two months, according to a joint statement issued after talks between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, French President Emmanuel Macron and European Council President Charles Michel.
The four met for several hours late Thursday night on the sidelines of the first gathering of the European Political Community in Prague.
The statement says:
“Armenia expressed agreement to support the EU civilian mission along the border with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan agreed to cooperate with the mentioned mission to the extent it will be concerned. The mission will start its work in October, for a maximum period of two months. The purpose of the mission will be to build confidence and, through its reports, support the border commissions.”
