EU’s von der Leyen to go to Armenia and Azerbaijan next week

-

BRUSSELS, June ‌26 (Reuters) - European Commission ​President Ursula von der Leyen ⁠will go to Armenia next week, said the ​EU on Friday, in ‌a move aimed at highlighting Brussels' support for Armenia as ⁠it faces political ⁠pressure from Russia.

The EU said von der Leyen would also go to ‌Azerbaijan.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol ⁠Pashinyan, who is ‌working towards ​the goal of European Union membership, won re-election this ‌month despite what ​international ⁠monitors said was blatant ‌interference and ⁠pressure from Russia.

In turn, Moscow accused Western countries of ​interfering in ‌the vote in favour of ⁠Pashinyan.
