European Union to send second civilian mission to Armenia

The European Union (EU) ambassadors have adopted in Brussels a decision to send a new civilian mission to Armenia, paving the way for final approval, which is expected to take place next week at a meeting of EU foreign ministers. 

According to the document, this mission aims to strengthen Armenia’s resilience to hybrid threats by providing strategic and practical advice and support to the country’s ministries and security agencies, Caliber.Az cites the Armenian media reports. 

The EU Monitoring Mission (EUMA) is already operating in Armenia.

EUMA began its work on February 20, 2023. On January 30, 2025, the Council of the EU extended the mandate of the monitoring mission in Armenia by two years, until February 19, 2027.
