Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian welcomed on Thursday a European Parliament resolution construed by him as an endorsement of his administration’s possible decision to seek Armenia’s membership in the European Union.

The resolution passed on Wednesday reaffirms support for Armenia’s territorial integrity and “democratic credentials,” praises the Armenian government for seeking closer ties with the EU and hails the effective suspension of the country’s membership in the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). It also says that Yerevan “could set the stage for a transformative phase in EU-Armenia relations” if it decides to try to eventually join the EU.

Pashinian touted the resolution at the start of a weekly session of his cabinet in Yerevan. He said the EU’s legislative body made clear that “if Armenia wants to submit an application to become a candidate for EU membership, the EU institutions should support it.”
