EUMA is marking its 500th patrol since its launch on 20 February
On this occasion, Head of EU Mission in Armenia Markus Ritter said:
“I am pleased to say that finally we are getting closer to reaching the full operability of the mission, for which I would like to thank to all colleagues here in Armenia and in Brussels working hard to make it possible.”
In the first five months, EUMA monitors patrolled at the border areas between Armenia and Azerbaijan from our operational hubs in Jermuk, Goris and Martuni. Approximately one third of patrols focused on observing and reporting on the security situation on the ground. While the rest of the patrols gathered the information on human security situation and what the impact of the conflict is on local population located on the Armenian side of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
