I cannot speak on behalf of Azerbaijan, and it would not be correct. But you know that we have adopted the law on Armenia’s accession to the European Union; this is a clear testament to our intentions, our ambitions. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this during a discussion, titled “Leadership at the Crossroads,” within the framework of the 8th Paris Peace Forum — and responding to a question about whether Armenia’s agreement with Azerbaijan could be the first step toward European integration for both countries.

“This is, in a way, again linked to the European prospects of another country in the region — Georgia. The adoption of this law in Armenia became possible because a year ago Georgia received the status of a candidate country for EU membership. I cannot say, as this is also a matter of geography. But in Armenia’s case, I believe Georgia’s European prospects are very important,” added the Armenian PM.
