[13][14] EUMA maintains six Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in Goris, Ijevan, Jermuk, Kapan, Martuni and Yeghegnadzor as well as a Liaison and Support Office in Yerevan.The parties discussed issues facing Armenia and security challenges across Europe, the deployment of EUMA, the need to establish a stable and peaceful South Caucasus region, and the process of normalization of Armenia–Turkey relations."[29] On 4 May 2023, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated, "Armenia is interested in deepening cooperation with the European Union" and that the EU mission would help "maintain international attention towards our region".Delegates conducted a joint patrol with EUMA personnel near the Lachin corridor, and met with representatives of the Armenian parliament and with EU member states ambassadors.[31][32] SEDE delegates confirmed that the European Parliament fully supports sending an international fact-finding mission to the Lachin corridor in order to protect the rights and interests of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh and to end Azerbaijan's illegal blockade.[33] On 22 June 2023, Vaqif Sadıqov, Azerbaijan's ambassador to the EU, wrote a tweet saying that EUMA monitors should stay away from the Armenia-Azerbaijan border if they do not want to get shot by Azerbaijani snipers.[13] On 3 September 2023, during an interview, prime minister Nikol Pashinyan stated that it was a strategic mistake for Armenia to solely rely on Russia to guarantee its security.Pashinyan stated, "Moscow has been unable to deliver and is in the process of winding down its role in the wider South Caucasus region" and "the Russian Federation cannot meet Armenia's security needs.[43] In June 2024, members of the EU's Committee for Civilian Aspects of Crisis Management (CivCom) visited EUMA headquarters and participated in patrolling border areas.
