Michael Roth stresses need to strengthen EUMA

ArmInfo. We must strengthen the EUMA (EU  Mission in Armenia) as quickly as possible, Chair of  the Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee Michael Roth, wrote on his X (formerly Twitter).

Expressing gratitude to EUMA, he emphasized that strengthening is  necessary in the context of further monitoring of the situation along  the entire border, in order to stabilize the situation and identify  possible attacks by the Azerbaijani side on the territory of Armenia.

On January 23 this year, the EU Council has approved the new civilian  mission of the European Union in Armenia (EUMA) under the Common  Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The objective of the Mission is  to contribute to stability in the border areas of Armenia, building  confidence on the ground, and ensuring an environment conducive to  normalisation efforts between Armenia and Azerbaijan supported by the  EU.  EUMA's headquarters is based in Yeghegnadzor with operating  bases in Jermuk, Goris, Kapan, Martuni, Ijevan and Yeghegnadzor and a  liaison & support office in Yerevan.
