German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock visited Yeraskh on the second day of her Armenia trip on Saturday, ARMENPRESS reports.
In the border village, Baerbock was welcomed by Marek Kuberski, Deputy Head of EU Mission in Armenia (EUMA).
Together with EUMA observers, the German Foreign Minister visited the area where the U.S.-affiliated steelworks was supposed to be built.

The German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock inquired on the distance between Yeraskh and the Azeri posts and the frequency of EUMA patrols in the Yeraskh section.
Baerbock then left for the village of Vostan to meet with forcibly displaced persons of Nagorno-Karabakh who’ve been accommodated there.
