Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told Radio France International that EU membership is one of Armenia's options, since the EU has yet to decide on enlargement. He said the goal is to create alternatives so that the people can decide whether to remain in the EAEU, join the EU, or join neither. Pashinyan noted that reforms in line with EU standards will continue in any case.
