Armenia vrea să-și depună curând candidatura la UE. „Date fiind cererile insistente ale partenerilor din Uniunea eurasiatică”

Armenia plans to submit its EU membership application soon, distancing itself from Russia amid regional tensions. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the need for a realistic assessment of EU accession before any referendum. Moscow opposes Armenia's European ambitions, insisting on a referendum first, which complicates Armenia's position within the Eurasian Economic Union. The shift towards Europe has strained relations with Russia, leading to sanctions, including a ban on Armenian agricultural imports. Pashinyan expressed a desire for Armenia to exit a regional security pact with Russia, highlighting the country's pivot towards the West.
