The Armenian Foreign Minister called the country's choice towards the EU "irrevocable".

Armenia has made an irrevocable choice towards the European Union (EU). This was announced by the country's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan at the opening of the regional meeting of EU Ambassadors to Eastern Europe and Central Asia on May 20. His words are quoted by the Armenpress news agency.

"We are at an important milestone. Armenia is making an irreversible choice — towards democracy, peace, and Europe. We believe that these decisive steps will be met with equally bold and strategic cooperation from our European partners," Mirzoyan said.

According to him, Yerevan hopes not only for support, but also for strengthening mutual partnership with the EU.

"Let's build on our common values and take bold, creative steps together for the sake of stability, sustainability and prosperity of our region and beyond!" the diplomat concluded.

Changing their orientation: why Armenia joined the European Union

Yerevan is preparing to adopt a law on EU accession

On April 4, Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian signed a law on the beginning of the republic's accession process to the EU. It is reported that this step does not automatically mean the republic's accession to the European Union, as such a decision must be put to a referendum.
