Armenia, EU Hold Talks on Strategic Partnership in Brussels
The talks focused on preparations for the upcoming Armenia–EU summit scheduled to take place in Yerevan in May, as stated in an official statement from Armenia’s Foreign Ministry.
Both sides reportedly highlighted the importance of initiatives that deliver concrete benefits for Armenian citizens, alongside efforts to deepen economic ties, improve transport connectivity, and expand cooperation in the energy sector.
They also discussed measures aimed at reinforcing democratic resilience, which were described as a core element of the value-based partnership between Armenia and the European Union.
According to reports, the two sides agreed to maintain and strengthen existing mechanisms supporting democratic development and institutional reforms.
Meanwhile, external geopolitical reactions have continued to shape the context of Armenia’s foreign policy direction. According to reports, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently told Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in the Kremlin that Moscow is not concerned about Armenia’s engagement with the EU, while noting that Armenia cannot simultaneously join both the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the European Union.
In related remarks, Armenian parliamentary officials were also reported to have suggested that Yerevan could reconsider its participation in Russia-led regional organizations if economic disputes, including gas pricing issues, escalate further.
