Klaar: peace to allow withdrawal of EU mission from Armenia

Peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan will allow the withdrawal of the EU mission from Armenia, the EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus Toivo Klaar said during a panel discussion at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (ADF).

The diplomat stressed that the establishment of peace and stability between Baku and Yerevan would enable Brussels to shift its attention exclusively to a positive cooperation agenda with all three countries of the South Caucasus.

'Moreover, we would be in a position to withdraw the unarmed EU civilian mission from Armenia, which was deployed to affirm the EU's confidence and commitment to peace," Toivo Klaar said.
