From April 28 to 30, the European Parliament will debate and vote on the adoption of a resolution by the European Union (EU) to support Armenia’s democratic resilience. This is noted in a statement posted on the European Parliament’s website.

The debates on this resolution will be held against the backdrop of the parliamentary elections in Armenia on June 7.

“During Tuesday’s plenary debate with Commission and Council representatives, and in Thursday’s accompanying resolution, MEPs [i.e. Members of European Parliament] are expected to stress the need for a vote free from external interference, and to raise concerns over attempts by Moscow to sow disinformation and influence the ballot’s outcome,” the statement adds.

In addition, it is noted that the European Parliament is “expected to call for more efforts to strengthen Armenia’s overall democratic resilience.”

Also, the European Parliament recalled that the EU recently “launched a new civilian mission to support the Armenian authorities with capacity building and to face multi-layered threats such as foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), cyber-attacks and illicit financial flows.”
