The French president Emmanuel Macron, the German chancellor Olaf Solz and the president of the European Council Charles Michel reaffirmed their “unwavering support” to Armenia after meeting today with the Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pashinian. Earlier, the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, also expressed his support.

“(Macron, Solz and Michel) emphasized their unwavering support for the independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the borders of Armenia,” underlines a statement issued after this meeting held in Granada, Spain, in the context of summit of the European Political Community.

“At the same time, the three of them expressed their support for the strengthening of European Union-Armenia relations, in all dimensions of relations, based on the needs of the Republic of Armenia,” the statement added.

The meeting comes two weeks after Azerbaijan’s landslide military victory in which it took control of Nagorno-Karabakh, an enclave of Azerbaijani territory inhabited by Armenians. After the military victory of Baku, over 100,000 inhabitants of the region fled to Armenia.

Talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan were expected to be one of the topics discussed at the summit, but Azeri President Ilham Aliyev did not go to Granada unfazed by European support for Armenia.

Michel told reporters he would invite Pashinyan and Aliyev for a meeting in Brussels by the end of October.
