In Moscow, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will discuss as well the matter of deploying an EU monitoring mission on the border with Azerbaijan. Deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisyan said this during Friday’s meeting of the Standing Committee on European Integration of the National Assembly of Armenia.

"In the case of Russia, we are aware that there is a sensitive attitude regarding the deployment of the EU mission. We are discussing the matter with our colleagues. You know that the visit of the Armenian foreign minister to Moscow is coming soon, that matter is one of the matters that will surely be discussed [there]," he said.

The Armenian deputy FM touched also upon the matters regarding the deployment of this EU mission.

"We continue to carry out explanatory work in that regard, to explain what is the reason, what are the goals of the mission. For example, Iran, which is also very sensitive about the creation of such missions in the region, gave a rather positive response. The ambassador of Iran [to Armenia] stated that they do not see any problem regarding the deployment of the mission. It shows that in the case of explanatory work, the perception is different. Yes, we should continue the work with other partners, present a lot of information in that regard," Hovhannisyan said.
