YEREVAN, MARCH 22, ARMENPRESS. Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan has described the EU civilian mission which was launched in Armenia on 20th February as “an additional important tool” for the peace process.
“First of all, the mission is a civilian one, secondly, this mission is an additional tool for Armenia which must be served to the general peace process,” FM Mirzoyan told lawmakers during questions time in parliament.
He dismissed rumors and accusations claiming that Armenia is making some sort of “provocations” while “hiding behind the EU mission”.
“Firstly, the Armenian side isn’t making any provocations at all. Secondly, for Armenia, the EU mission is purely a tool which has to additionally strengthen the peace process, stability in the region, as well as the assessment and relay of the objective reality to our EU partners,” FM Mirzoyan said.
