Armenia requests assistance from European Peace Foundation - FM

Armenia requests assistance from European Peace Foundation - FM

ArmInfo.Armenia has addressed the European Peace Foundation with a request for assistance and is  awaiting a response. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan stated this on June 4 in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia during discussions of the report on the implementation of the country's budget for 2023.

According to him, Yerevan expects to receive military assistance from  the fund. However, as the head of the RA Foreign Ministry noted, we  are not talking about the supply of ammunition; the issue of  supplying non-lethal weapons, especially military medical equipment,  is being discussed.

Mirzoyan emphasized that Yerevan is working with Brussels in many  areas, pointing to two of them. The first of them concerns  cooperation on new priorities, and the second concerns activities  that stem from the results of the Armenia-EU-US trilateral meeting  held on April 5 in Brussels, aimed at increasing the country's  resilience. Also on the agenda is the issue of starting negotiations  on visa liberalization. "What will all this lead to? Let's wait until  the end of the year," Ararat Mirzoyan noted.
