EU Monitoring Capacity in Armenia becomes operational


On 20 October, the EU Monitoring Capacity in Armenia became operational following the decision by the European Union to deploy monitoring experts along the Armenian side of the international border with Azerbaijan.

The mission in Armenia, consisting of 40 EU civilian monitoring experts, will report on military posture and ceasefire related developments in the border regions between Armenia and Azerbaijan. This will allow the EU to better support the work of the two parties’ border commissions.

The EU monitors will also provide observations of events taking place along the border, including human rights related developments. They will not have an investigative role.

The EU has published an explainer in a Q&A format on the new mission.

The Q&A explains why the EU is sending a Monitoring Capacity to Armenia and what it will be monitoring, what exactly the EU Monitoring Capacity is going to do, and where exactly it will be deployed.
