EU Council decisions will strengthen our partnership with Armenia- Borrell

YEREVAN, JULY 23, ARMENPRESS. The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, highly praised the decision taken by the EU Council of Foreign Ministers on July 22 to open a dialogue with Armenia on visa liberalization issues and to allocate €10 million from the European Peace Facility to the country.

Josep Borrell said about it during the press conference. The message reads as follows: 

“The EU Council adopted two important decisions which will strengthen our partnership with Armenia. 

First, we adopted the first-ever Assistance Measure under the European Peace Facility for Armenia, for around €10 million. 

Second, we gave green light to launch a visa liberalisation dialogue with Armenia. 

I am very happy that this could be finally agreed before the summer break - because you know how the situation is tense in the Caucasus, and this will strengthen our partnership with Armenia.”
