EU Foreign Affairs Council: Armenian FM details key topics of talks

Armenia will welcome the EU’s possible involvement in South Caucasus infrastructure projects, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan told reporters in Brussels after a meeting held within the framework of the EU Foreign Affairs Council. 

“It is a pleasure to be back to Brussels, just two weeks after a very successful EU -Armenia Partnership Council, where we adopted the Armenia-EU Partnership Strategic Agenda, thus elevating our relations to a new level. Today, at the Foreign Affairs Council format, chaired by High Representative Kaja Kallas, together with the member states, we discussed all the major achievements of the Armenia-EU partnership—from the economy and stronger resilience to security-related issues, including hybrid threats and the assistance provided under the European Peace Facility.
We covered all the topics that are currently of great importance in the relations between Armenia and the European Union. We also assessed the progress in the visa liberalization process, a topic that is very important for the citizens of the Republic of Armenia and from the perspective of bringing Armenia closer to the European Union.
Of course, there is also the bigger picture—regional developments, the opening of communications between the countries of the South Caucasus, and the opportunities lying therein. We discussed and welcomed the potential involvement of the EU in infrastructure projects," he said.
