Grigoryan: Armenia finds false propaganda against the EU civilian  mission to be unacceptable

ArmInfo.Armenia considers any false propaganda against the EU civilian mission in the Republic  unacceptable. Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan stated this at an event held at the mission headquarters in Yeghegnadzor, dedicated to the extension of the mandate of the EU civilian mission in the country.

Reiterating the stabilizing role of the EU civilian mission in  Armenia, the Armenian official stressed the importance of extending  the mandate of their activities for another two years.  "We highly  value the work of the mission as a stabilizing factor symbolizing the  EU's commitment to contribute to the stability of the region," he  noted, adding that the extension of the mission for another two years  is a signal of the EU's desire to promote peace and stability in the  South Caucasus. 

Additionally, Grigoryan believes that the stabilization factor often  makes the EU civil mission in Armenia a target of attacks and  inappropriate criticism from other countries. "We are also not  surprised that sometimes, criticism  from two different capitals  often shares  90% identical content. We find false propaganda against  the EU civil mission in Armenia to be unacceptable and will continue  our joint work to combat disinformation," Grigoryan noted, the press  service of the Security Council of Armenia reported.  The official  also welcomed the expansion of the mission and Canada's participation  in it. In conclusion, he reaffirmed Armenia's commitment to  strengthening its security relations with the EU.
