Armenia becomes Observer Country in European Migration Network

The European Commission and the State Migration Service of Armenia signed an Administrative Arrangement to collaborate in the European Migration Network, thus making Armenia an Observer Country in the network.

Both sides agreed to exchange up-to-date, objective, reliable and comparable information on the asylum and migration situation in Armenia and in the EU Member States. The Administrative Arrangement is an important step towards reinforced cooperation and efficient exchange of information in the areas of migration and asylum between the Member States and Armenia. The network’s goal is to meet the information needs of the EU institutions and of Member States’ authorities and institutions on migration, asylum and home affairs with a view to support policymaking. Armenia will contribute to EMN’s objectives by attending all EMN meetings and contribute to EMN studies and reports.
