the European peace fund is a mechanism to funnel EU money to European countries. At least that’s what it clearly became after the Ukraine war started.
So imo, I will expect that the 10 million Euros that we will be getting to build the modular camps will be in cooperation with France or another country. Or at least with their help.
Other countries that receive money from the EPF are Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. So it’s very clear that the money is meant for pro-Eu anti-Russia states. Although African states have also received the fund, although those are just “EU controlled” states. so We can clearly assume that the EPF is simply upholding EU ambitions and profits.
>Armenia submitted an application for funding from the EPF in 2023. During her visit to Armenia last October then **French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said that she had personally applied to the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy on this issue**.
For the modular bases that will be built. we already have an example of a finished modular base that went under heavy scrutiny a while back for having an electric outlet at the feet washing place. And wooden walls inside the base. There’s no information with who we started the work on modular bases. They are used worldwide by many advanced militaries like the US, Turkey, France, China, etc…
It might fall under the cooperation agreement between France and Armenia to “Protect civilians and strategic regions”.
