Armenia could become a member of the European Union (EU) within the next 20 years.
Armenian media reported the remarks made by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan during discussions at the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) in Dublin, Operative Information Center-OMM reports.
“I see Armenia as part of the European Union,” Pashinyan said in response to a question about how he envisaged Armenia in 20 years.
He also said Yerevan was not seeking to distance itself from one partner in order to move closer to another.
“Armenia is where it was before and where it is now. Armenia will remain here, in its place. We do not want to distance ourselves from any partner and move closer to others. We are simply pursuing our balanced and balancing foreign policy,” the prime minister stressed.
Pashinyan previously said Armenia could formally apply to join the EU in 2027 or 2028.
