Armenia’s prime minister says the country intends to seek EU membership in 2027 or 2028. The announcement centers on a timeline for a formal application, with the prime minister framing the move as a strategic decision.
Euronews reports that PM Nikol Pashinyan characterizes EU membership as a way to protect democracy and says Armenians face a choice between aligning with Brussels and joining Russia’s Eurasian bloc. It also notes that he rejects concerns that Armenia could become “the next Ukraine,” responding to warnings cited in the debate over closer EU ties. Another outlet, Nasha Niva, likewise highlights the stated intention to apply in 2027 or 2028, focusing on the timing of the plan rather than additional arguments or reactions.
