EU Working on Major Economic Support Package to Help Armenia Withstand Russia’s Unfair Trade Restrictions, Kallas Says

BRUSSELS — The European Union will prepare a support program for Armenia in response to Russia’s trade restrictions, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said during a press conference in Luxembourg following a meeting of EU foreign ministers and talks with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, Factor.am reported.

Kallas noted that last week’s parliamentary elections in Armenia sent a clear message.

“The Armenian people voted for peace, sovereignty, and closer ties with Europe. Russia’s heavy pressure and economic coercion failed to influence the vote,” she said.

“Today, the ministers discussed how we can further strengthen Armenia’s resilience and economic diversification. The EU is already working on a major economic support package to help Armenia withstand Russia’s unfair trade restrictions. Our new EU Partnership Mission in Armenia will soon begin its work to combat cyberattacks, illicit financial flows, and other threats,” Kallas stated.
