The European Union fully hopes that the deployment of the observation mission is an important step and will give an opportunity to reduce the tension on the border, the head of the EU delegation in Armenia announced today.

The ambassador considered important the cooperation of the Armenian government and the necessary support to the EU technical assessment mission.

“The Armenian authorities not only welcomed the arrival of the observation mission but also provide the necessary support to carry out the activities. So the work has begun.

The purpose of the observers’ activity is to submit reports to the headquarters. The deployment of an observation mission by the EU is also an important step. We fully hope that this will make it possible to ease the tension on the borders, and implement confidence-building functions, which will further make the process of signing the peace agreement smoother,” Andrea Wiktorin, the head of the EU Delegation to Armenia said.
