The European Union (EU) is committed to strengthening its bilateral relations and strategic cooperation with Armenia, aiming to elevate the partnership to a new level.<\/p>\n

According to Operative Information Center-OMM<\/a>, European Council President Antonio Costa made these remarks during the opening of the EU-Armenia summit. Costa emphasized that the strategic agenda for the partnership, which was adopted in December last year, has served as a foundation for intensifying ties between Brussels and Yerevan over the past months.<\/p>\n

President Costa noted that the establishment of a sustainable peace between Baku and Yerevan creates a favorable environment for the further development of bilateral relations between the EU and Armenia. “We are cooperating very closely in various fields\u2014from security and defense through the European Peace Facility to joint efforts in combating hybrid threats,” Costa stated, underlining the multifaceted nature of the current engagement.<\/p>\n

The deepening of EU-Armenia relations comes amid broader regional shifts in the South Caucasus. Following the restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity, the European Union has increased its diplomatic presence in the region, including the deployment of a monitoring mission along the border. This strategic shift reflects the EU’s growing interest in regional stability and its efforts to diversify its geopolitical partnerships in the post-conflict landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The European Union (EU) is committed to strengthening its bilateral relations and strategic cooperation with Armenia, aiming to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[35098,428,14070,35100,35099,35102,35103,35101,35104],"class_list":{"0":"post-58408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-antonio-costa","8":"tag-antonio","9":"tag-antonio-costa","10":"tag-avropa-ittifaqi","11":"tag-brussel","12":"tag-detallar","13":"tag-ermnistan","14":"tag-irvan","15":"tag-kosta","16":"tag-trfdasliq"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116523836597895340","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
