The European Union does not intend to conduct military exercises with Armenia. Peter Stano
Peter Stano, the official representative of the EU foreign policy service, told "Izvestia" about this, "NEWS.am" reports.
"The EU does not consider the possibility of joint military exercises with Armenia. The EU is not a military alliance, it is a political and economic community of values," said Stano. In addition, the European Union does not plan to train the Armenian military in the territory of the EU member states, he clarified. The European Union is studying the possibility of providing support to the Armenian army in a "non-lethal format" through the European Peace Fund, but there are no concrete decisions yet, Stano said.
Despite the fact that some experts expected active actions by Western countries in the Armenian direction, in reality the situation is developing in a different scenario. In particular, Germany does not hide that Berlin does not intend to seriously increase military cooperation with Yerevan. Jan Nolte, a member of the Bundestag defense committee, told Izvestia that the German parliament is not considering the possibility of supplying arms to Armenia.
