Armenia will be allocated 15 million euros, which will be used to strengthen peace and the country’s resilience. A number of initiatives will be implemented, demining courses will be organized, and equipment will be provided. The European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated this during a press briefing held Tuesday after the sixth meeting of the EU-Armenia Partnership Council, in Brussels.

Armenia faces other problems, too. Russia and its proxies are conducting information campaigns in Armenia ahead of the parliamentary election. The same networks used in Moldova are being used. The scenario is the same. The aforesaid EU funding will help respond to foreign interference, Kallas added.

Resisting foreign interference requires the participation of society as a whole. The EU is pleased to hear that this is exactly the situation in Armenia. An active civil society and independent media are of crucial importance, noted the EU foreign policy chief.

Armenia is not alone in facing these challenges; the EU is ready to provide the country with active support, Kallas said.
