Parliamentary committee approves Armenia-EU cooperation agreement in crisis management

The bill on ratifying the agreement on establishing the framework for Armenia’s Participation in the EU’s Crisis Management Operations was approved at the parliamentary committee on EU integration.

Deputy FM Mnatsakan Safaryan told lawmakers that the agreement was signed on June 30, 2025, and aims to establish the general conditions for Armenia’s participation in EU crisis management operations, eliminating the need to set separate conditions for each individual mission.

According to Safaryan, the agreement allows Armenia to benefit from the EU’s experience and capabilities in crisis management.

“In recent years, Armenia–EU cooperation has also included the security and defense sectors, which makes the ratification of the agreement an important step toward deepening this cooperation,” he said.

“The signing of the agreement is seen as consistent with Armenia’s foreign policy— a practical step toward deepening Armenia–EU cooperation and implementing European standards,” Safaryan emphasized.
