European Union's advance team arrived in Yerevan to monitor the
situation in the region on October 14, EU Special Representative
for the South Caucasus Toivo Klaar wrote on Twitter.
“The 27 Member States have acted rapidly to respond to Armenia's
request. The aim of the EU deployment will be to monitor the
situation and support the Armenia-Azerbaijan stabilization on the
ground,” Klaar wrote.
The issue of placement of this mission was reflected in the
statement adopted on October 7 following the quadripartite meeting
of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev with French President
Emmanuel Macron, European Council President Charles Michel, and
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Prague.
The EU and France wanted to create a border monitoring mission
that would also operate on the territory of Azerbaijan and use it
to enter the region. Azerbaijan objected to this, and after a firm
position, it was decided that the mission would operate only on the
territory of Armenia. Azerbaijan will cooperate with the mission in
accordance with its interests. The border mission will help build
confidence and contribute to the border delimitation process.
Furthermore, following the quadripartite meeting, Azerbaijan and
Armenia recognized each other's territorial integrity and
sovereignty by reaffirming their adherence to the UN Charter and
the Alma Ata Declaration of 1991.
The parties confirmed that this will become the basis for the
work of the commissions on the delimitation of the border, and
their next meeting of the commissions will be held in Brussels at
the end of October.
