Key developments:
- €52 million support package for Armenia, bringing total EU financial support to €288 million.
- Proposal for tariff-free access covering around 80% of Armenian exports to the EU.
- Up to €200 million for South Caucasus connectivity projects, with potential to mobilise €2 billion in investment.
