According to the official message released by the US Embassy, ​​the experts of the Sargent and Lundy company, in cooperation with the RA officials, completed the preliminary technical and economic assessment of the viability of replacing the NPP with new, advanced American small modular reactor technologies. In the report, it was justified that it is appropriate for Armenia to consider 4 types of American small modular reactors.


The source reminds that the pre-election program of the ruling “Civil Agreement” party plans to specify and implement the final choice of the new nuclear power unit technology by the end of 2027.


At the same time, point 75 of the program envisages a two-fold extension of the operational period of the 2nd power unit of the National Nuclear Power Plant for 2026-2036, which means that Armenia will continue to use Russian nuclear technologies.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen discussed during a phone call on June 4 the response to Armenia’s “economic challenges” and the further development of bilateral cooperation, the Prime Minister’s Office said in its readout.

The readout was published shortly after the EU readout.

The European Commission President reaffirmed the European Union’s commitment to supporting the strengthening of Armenia’s economic resilience and development programs. She said the EU is preparing a support package that includes over €50 million in immediate financial assistance, as well as additional measures aimed at expanding export opportunities for Armenian products and facilitating trade.

Practical support programs for various sectors, including agriculture and floriculture, were also discussed. In this context, the importance of creating new opportunities for Armenian products in European markets was emphasized.

The parties highlighted the deepening of business ties, the consistent implementation of the agreements reached at the Armenia–EU summit held in Yerevan, and the advancement of the Armenia–EU strategic agenda.

It was noted that EU support under the Resilience and Growth Plan has already contributed to the development of thousands of enterprises and the creation of new jobs in Armenia. Reference was also made to initiatives implemented within the framework of the Armenia–EU Connectivity Partnership.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reaffirmed the EU’s readiness to support the development of infrastructure projects and regional connectivity.

The parties agreed to establish a joint Armenia–EU task force to coordinate the implementation of ongoing programs and discuss new areas of cooperation.

The EU is working with the Armenian government and businesses to help overcome economic pressure from Russia, French Ambassador to Armenia Olivier Decottignies has said.

“We, as Europeans, are working hand in hand with the Government of the Republic of Armenia and companies operating in Armenia to help overcome the pressure you are experiencing today,” Decottignies said at a meeting with Armenian exporters organized by the International Trade Centre, referring to the recent restrictions repeatedly imposed by the Russian Federation on imports of Armenian goods.

He said that discussions are underway on practical issues such as logistics, as well as all possible measures through which the European Union can support the export of Armenian products to European markets and increase the attractiveness of these goods in Europe as much as possible.

“The European Union, and our European friends, are not asking you to make a choice. We are a reliable partner; we do not threaten, we do not pressure; we help, and we want to be confident that Armenia’s economic relations with the European Union — the world’s most extensive economic network — continue to grow and make you secure,” the French Ambassador to Armenia said.

Russia has been imposing growing restrictions in recent weeks on the import of Armenian goods, ranging from flowers and certain fruits and vegetables to mineral water, fish, and alcoholic drinks, citing phytosanitary violations.

Armenia’s Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan has said that Armenian exportable fruits and vegetables have a GlobalG.A.P. certificate, one of the highest-level certifications, and that efforts are underway to find new markets, particularly in the EU.

Details of the EU’s support measures were released following a phone call between Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. In particular, the EU is preparing a support package for Armenia, which includes immediate financial assistance worth over €50 million.

50 million euro support package for Armenia. Declaration of Ursula von der Leyen

Antonian Lara

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that she is going to provide Armenia with an immediate support package of more than 50 million euros against the background of Russia’s restrictions on the import of Armenian agricultural products.


He informed about this after his telephone conversation with Prime Minister Pashinyan.


“Today I spoke with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to discuss the restrictions recently applied by Russia to Armenia. This is nothing but economic coercion, and it is unacceptable. Extending the restrictions on the export of Armenian products, Moscow uses economic relations as a tool of political pressure. We know this way of working very well. That is why Europe firmly supports Armenia.


We are preparing a package of EU support measures. It includes immediate financial assistance of more than 50 million euros. Trade facilitation measures are also planned for a number of Armenian products, in particular, products of the agro-food sector,” he said.


Von der Leyen added that the EU will continue to strengthen ties between European and Armenian businesses within the framework of the agreements reached at the recent summit in Yerevan.


According to him, the further promotion of these initiatives will be discussed during the ministerial meeting of the platform on interconnection issues, which is scheduled for June 23.


“In order to ensure effective coordination in all these directions, we have agreed to create a joint EU-Armenia working group. That body will monitor the implementation of all these initiatives, as well as any additional measures planned in the future,” he added.
