A technical group from the European Union will arrive in Armenia today, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Paruyr Hovhannisyan told reporters.
"A technical group from the European Union will arrive in Yerevan today to discuss the locations of its deployment," Hovhannisyan said.
EU ambassadors on Tuesday agreed to send a civilian mission to Armenia to be deployed along the border with Azerbaijan to build confidence and help them delimit their border.
The decision to deploy EU's civilian mission was reached earlier by Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders. Armenia expressed its agreement to encourage the EU civilian mission along the border with Azerbaijan at an October 6 meeting in Prague with Azerbaijani leader Aliyev, France's President Macron and European Council President Michel.
Azerbaijan agreed to cooperate with the mentioned mission to the extent it will be concerned. The mission is expected to start its work in October, for a maximum period of two months.
EU's decision was decried by Russia. The spokeswoman for the Russian ministry Maria Zakharova described the decision as "yet another attempt to cut into the settlement between Azerbaijan and Armenia in any way, to squeeze Russia's mediation efforts," ARKA reports.
