Armenia plans to join the European Union

TASS reports that the Armenian government has approved a draft decision to start the process of the country’s accession to the European Union.

The Armenian parliament is now scheduled to discuss the draft law at the end of January. According to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Armenia’s final intention to join the EU should be approved through a popular referendum. “Before the referendum, we should take certain actions: discuss the roadmap with the European Union,” Pashinyan said.

The EU accession project was presented by Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan. According to the government’s rationale, the approval “will make the expectations of the citizens of the Republic of Armenia to become a full member of the European Union more realistic, as well as create a more working environment for further discussion.”
