"Publication". Will EU observers be abandoned?

According to some information, Armenia intends to fulfill another demand of Azerbaijan not to extend the period of activity of the EU observation mission in Armenia. The Chief of the General Staff of the Azerbaijani Army, Kerim Valiyev, stated the other day that the deployment of the EU mission on the "conventional border" with Armenia aggravates the situation. "The deployment of the EU observation mission, as well as the arming of Armenia by some countries outside the region, in particular, France, led to the activation of revanchist forces in Armenia, created obstacles to the normalization of relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the peace process, aggravating the situation in the South Caucasus." We did not manage to verify the news officially. , because it is not possible to get an answer to any question from either the MFA or the observation mission. It should be noted that the observers arrived in Armenia in 2023 for a period of 2 years, their term expires in February 2025, and if the RA authorities do not submit an extension application, the mission will end. In political circles, it is believed that perhaps this is the reason why Nikol Pashinyan, taking one step forward, removed the Russian border guards from the Armenian-Iranian border, so that when the term of the observers is not extended, he would not be accused of being pro-Russian.
