Markus Ritter: EUMA planning to have 6 forward operating bases in Armenia

The operational hub of the EU Mission in Armenia was
established in Kapan. 

During the opening ceremony, Head of Mission of the EUMA
Markus Ritter noted that they plan to have six forward operating bases in the
Republic of Armenia.

“We are already one step closer to the implementation
of our plans. The major operational hubs are located in Martuni, Goris and
Jermuk. And now another one is established in Kapan. After this, we plan to
establish hubs in Ijevan and Yeghegnadzor.

This hub in Kapan is of crucial importance from a military
point of view. Thus, we will be able to deliver regular reports on the
situation. And this will allow us to save time spent on roads, as until now we
were located in Goris,” Ritter said.
