European Parliament passes resolution supporting Armenia's candidacy for EU membership
The European Parliament on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for closer ties between the European Union and Armenia, as well as supporting Armenia’s candidacy for membership in the bloc, “should Armenia be interested.”
The resolution was adopted by a vote of 504 in favor, four against and 32 abstentions, Asbarez reported.
“Should Armenia be interested in applying for candidate status and continuing on its path of sustained reforms consolidating its democracy, this could set the stage for a transformative phase in EU-Armenia relations,’’ the resolution by the members of the EU’s legislative body reads.
