Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the Armenian government unequivocally wants Armenia to become a fully fledged EU member state, APA reports, citing Armenpress.

He added that the government is now working to make Armenia a country compliant with EU standards.

“The next nuance is that we are fully aware that we cannot simultaneously be a member of the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). But now another reality is emerging: there is, in fact, space to follow this path while remaining an EAEU member. And today, we are within that space. We are clearly stating that we are proceeding along this path. We are an EAEU member, which means there is no incompatibility at this point. Therefore, for as long as compatibility is possible, we will continue to remain an EAEU member. When incompatibility becomes inevitable, we will make a decision together with the citizens of Armenia, based on the free expression of the will of the people of the Republic of Armenia,” he said.
