Armenia Approves EU Accession Bill, Plans Referendum Amid Tensions with Russia
Jan 9, 2025, 09:24 AM
The Armenian government has approved a draft bill to initiate the country's accession process to the European Union. The proposal, presented by Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, underscores the deepening relationship between Armenia and the EU, with Mirzoyan noting the EU's political and financial support. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that while the bill's approval does not mean immediate membership, a 'roadmap' must be developed and discussed with the EU before a national referendum can be held. The draft law will now be discussed in Parliament, following the collection of over 52,000 signatures by pro-European groups. This move reflects Armenia's shift towards European integration amidst evolving geopolitical tensions and may impact its traditionally strong ties with Russia.
