As part of this initiative, the EU delegation visited the Bagratashen and Ayrum border checkpoints to observe customs operations on-site.

According to the plan, the delegation is also scheduled to visit Zvartnots International Airport.

"The mission aims to assess Armenia’s overall preparedness in document security, border management, and migration policies, as well as contribute to the preparation of the visa liberalization action plan," the statement reads.
