ArmInfo.The European Union again refuted Azerbaijani disinformation about the accumulation of Armenian troops on the border with Azerbaijan. Thus, denying the claims of the Azerbaijani side, the EU Mission in Armenia (EUMA) wrote on its Twitter (X) page, in particular: "EUMA again patrolled on the Armenian side of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border today, our monitors didn't observe any unusual military movements. It was a calm and peaceful Easter Monday."
Reposting this EUMA post, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus and the crisis in Georgia Toivo Klaar noted that the EU civilian mission performs an important function in ensuring transparency.
"The EUMA is performing an essential function to ensure transparency. It is open to engagement with Azerbaijan as well; if there are concerns these need to be addressed in a safe environment, like EUMMGeorgia is providing through its regular contacts with all sides," Klaar added.
And the French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies noted that the EU mission in Armenia is once again fulfilling its mandate. "Present on the ground, as close as possible to the military contact lines, dispels rumors and false news and provides impartial information to the international community," the French diplomat emphasized.
