European Union on Monday praised Armenia’s efforts to foster stability in the South Caucasus, including its push for normalisation with Türkiye and a landmark peace deal with Azerbaijan. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Brussels to discuss regional developments and deepen EU-Armenia relations. Von der Leyen welcomed Armenia’s draft peace treaty with Azerbaijan, calling it “a seismic moment” in the region’s history. “It brings decades of hostility to a close. I hope the treaty can be signed as soon as possible,” she said.
