We Expect the Approval of the Second Support for Armenia: MFA Spokesperson Ani Badalyan

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Ani Badalyan, has addressed the issue of support approval under the European Peace Facility within the framework of the Armenia-EU partnership. This was reported by Radar Armenia.

The media outlet inquired about the active engagements with the EU in recent days through various formats, including bilateral meetings with member states, notably with the Hungarian Foreign Minister. It seems that the only area that had slowed down within the projects being implemented under the Armenia-EU partnership was the approval of support under the European Peace Facility. Is there any specific change regarding this issue?

“Yes, the discussions in this direction, including the formats you mentioned, were aimed at achieving concrete results, and we appreciate the consensus formed at both the level of each of the 27 EU member states and the EU as a whole. By the way, Minister Mirzoyan mentioned this without going into details after the meeting held yesterday in the format of EU Foreign Ministers. In the meeting with Minister Mirzoyan within the framework of the EU Foreign Affairs Council, all EU member states reaffirmed the support provided through that and other tools, therefore we can state that there is political agreement expressed, and after ensuring the necessary internal procedures, we expect the approval of the second support for Armenia under the European Peace Facility,” said MFA spokesperson Ani Badalyan.
