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.
