Arrival at the Karen Demirtchian Complex in Yerevan of the guests of the European Political Community summit, the first organized in the Caucasus, was broadcast live this Monday, May 4 by News.am, a media outlet that, like most Armenian news sites, reported the comments and preliminary statements of the main officials present.
This format brings together countries from the continent to the Caucasus, excluding Russia and Belarus. Its first edition was held in Prague in October 2022, a few months after the start of the war against Ukraine.
“This event will focus on strengthening cooperation in areas such as energy, transportation, digital technologies, and logistical infrastructures. Special attention will be given to current global issues, including the situation in Ukraine and the consequences of the ongoing crisis in the Middle East,” stated News.am.
“A positive signal”
Armenia had never hosted a diplomatic summit of such magnitude. “The fact that this summit is being held in Yerevan demonstrates the importance of the Caucasus, especially in this period of war in Iran,” stated Kaja Kallas, representative of the European Union diplomacy, as cited by Armenpress.
