Azerbaijan has made such a demand, and the Armenian side has presented its version regarding the continuation of the monitors' activities.

Axar.az reports that Armenian parliament speaker Alen Simonyan made this statement while commenting on Azerbaijan’s dissatisfaction with the EU’s “civil mission” activities.

His words suggest that Armenia intends to extend the EU mission’s mandate, which is set to expire in February. Simonyan, repeating Prime Minister Pashinyan's remarks, emphasized that the observation mission does not need to operate in the delimitated and demarcated areas, such as Kirants.

Considering that the border delimitation and demarcation process could take years or even decades, it seems Armenia plans to keep the EU "observation mission" in the region for a prolonged period under this title.

It should be noted that the EU "civil mission" on Armenia’s border with Azerbaijan initially arrived for two months, but later extended for two years without Baku’s approval. The term expires in February 2025. The EU is working to extend the mandate.
