YEREVAN, November 20. /TASS/. Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisyan and Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia Vassilis Maragos have signed an agreement on the status of the EU monitoring mission deployed to the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the Armenpress news agency reported.

"This mission has already offered a lot to Armenia in terms of stability and security. The status agreement we signed today will help bring greater legal certainty when it comes to regulating the various rights and obligations of the mission's presence in the country," Maragos said.

He said the EU foreign ministers approved a proposal to expand the EU monitoring mission in Armenia a few days ago in Brussels.

The EU Monitoring Capacity started operating in Armenia in February 2023, with its members patrolling the Armenian side of the border with Azerbaijan.
