ArmInfo. Armenia faces a challenging pre-election environment marked by hybrid threats. This was stated by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas, summing up the 8th European Political Community Summit in Yerevan.

"Europe is not only geography; it is also the values and principles  we share. Therefore, I was pleased to attend the 8th meeting of the  European Political Community in Armenia. 48 leaders from across the  continent, including Canada as a guest, gathered in Yerevan to  discuss how to cooperate more closely at a time of profound  geopolitical transformation," she wrote on Facebook. According to  her, the European Political Community discussed how to coordinate  actions to strengthen democratic resilience, develop connectivity,  and enhance economic and energy security, focusing on resilience to  the threats facing all summit participants.

"Armenia Core Group - Armenia faces a challenging pre-election  environment marked by hybrid threats, including disinformation  campaigns and foreign influence operations. The Core Group met to  coordinate support for Armenia. Over the past year, our EU-Armenia  partnership has developed at an unprecedented pace. We are  significantly investing in the country's resilience and supporting  the integrity of the upcoming elections. Although the European  Political Community meeting has concluded, we continue our work in  Yerevan with the first-ever EU-Armenia Summit," Kallas noted.
