New EU mission in Armenia to help combat cyber threats, disinformation and illicit financial flows, Kallas says

The European Union’s new mission in Armenia will begin its work to support the country’s authorities in combating cyber threats, disinformation and illicit financial flows. Kaja Kallas, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, made the announcement following a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council. She said Armenia and Moldova are facing external coercion. “Last week, the EU announced a major economic support package for Armenia to help it withstand Russian pressure. Today, ministers approved the launch of the EU’s new mission on the ground,” Kallas said. According to Kallas, EU experts will assist the Armenian authorities in addressing cyber threats, disinformation and illicit financial flows.
