The European Union made the decision to dispatch a civilian monitoring team to the region of the two nations’ border following the rekindled military escalation of the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The European Union stated that it is about fostering confidence today, Friday.
Additionally, he added, the activity of the two countries’ so-called border committees will contribute in the creation of reports on the circumstance.
These studies will cover a variety of topics, including how the two countries’ boundaries run and how to avoid violence between them.
A representative for the EU stated that the number of EU observers that will be dispatched to Armenia has not yet been determined.
The expedition should begin this month and last no more than two months, the spokesman continued. That is the only thing that is certain.
Azerbaijan aims to assist the mission, the official stated.
In the middle of September, the South Caucasus nation of Azerbaijan attacked Armenia.
Armenia rejects Azerbaijan’s claim that it provoked it in the past, despite the fact that it is the militarily weaker of the two neighbours.
The ceasefire is now in effect following intense combat that claimed more than 200 lives.
Over Nagorno-Karabakh, the two former Soviet republics have been at conflict for many years.
Diplomats believe that the authoritarian Azerbaijani government recently exploited the fact that Russia, Armenia’s main ally and protector, was busy with the conflict in Ukraine.
Following discussions about EU mediation at the inaugural summit of the new European political community in Prague, an agreement on the EU mission was made public.
Ilham Aliyev, the president of Azerbaijan, and Nikol Pashinyan, the prime minister of Armenia, met on Thursday.
The border region between Azerbaijan and Armenia is visited by monitors from the European Union.
