Armenia welcomes extension of EU Monitoring Mission in the country

Armenia welcomes the extension of the mandate of the EU Mission in Armenia by EU Council for another two years, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said in a post on X.

“The Mission has proven to be one of the pillars of stability in the region. We appreciate the support of each and every EU Member State and their participation on the ground,” the Foreign Minister has posted.

The Council of the European Union has adopted a decision extending the mandate of the European Union Mission in Armenia (EUMA) for a further two years, until 19 February 2027, with a budget allocation of over €44 million for the period from 20 February 2025 until 19 February 2027. 

Deployed in 2023, the EU observer mission monitors and reports on the security situation on the ground, with the goal of contributing to the security of people in conflict-affected regions of Armenia and fostering trust in the area.
