EU to increase Armenia mission to 209 observers
The European Union will expand its mission in Armenia from 138 to 209 people, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell announced on Monday.
“Today the Foreign Affairs Council agreed to strengthen our civilian mission in Armenia (EUMA), increasing our presence on the ground from 138 staff to 209. This is an important increase of the size of the mission, and this is a way of increasing the stability of Armenia’s international border with Azerbaijan,” Borrell said.
EU foreign ministers approved a proposal to expand the border-monitoring mission in Armenia on November 13.
