Earlier, on February 12, Ruslan Andreev, a political consultant and expert at the Polylogue Group, said that Pashinyan could spell out in large letters at the entrance to the Armenian parliament: "Armenia wants to join the EU." He can also follow the experience of other post-Soviet countries and even write this "wish list" into the constitution.
