Greece welcomes the EU’s historic decision to provide European Peace Facility assistance and launch visa liberalization dialogue with Armenia, the Greek Foreign Ministry said in a post on
X.
“Strengthening EU-Armenia Partnership fosters democracy, peace and regional stability,” the Ministry noted.
On Monday, the EU Council adopted an assistance measure under the European Peace Facility in support of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia worth €10 million.
For the first time, the EU decided to support Armenia from the European Peace Facility. The aim of this assistance measure is to enhance the logistical capacities of the Armenian Armed Forces, and to contribute to improved protection of civilians in crises and emergencies.
It also aims to enhance the resilience of Armenia and accelerate interoperability of its Armed Forces in case of possible future participation of the country in international military missions and operations, including those deployed by the EU. Concretely, the adopted assistance measure will allow the provision of a fully-fledged deployable tent camp for a battalion-sized unit.
The Council also decided to start visa liberalization talks with Armenia.
