Armenia considers possibility of joining the EU: FM

TEHRAN, Mar. 10 (MNA) – Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said that Armenia is weighing the possibility of applying for membership in the European Union.

He emphasized the importance for Armenia to expand its circle of partners and allies, including strengthening ties with the United States, the European Union, and India.

The foreign minister of Armenia further held an interview with Turkish Anadolu where he said that Armenia continues to deepen relations in various fields with both the EU and the European countries, referring to the existing intensive political dialogue.

"We want to further deepen our relations with the EU," Mirzoyan said, citing the following statement by Prime Minister Pashinyan: "Armenia is ready to deepen relations with the EU as much as the European Union considers possible.''
