Armenia is considering joining EU, FM says

Armenia is considering applying for European Union membership, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on Friday.

"Many new opportunities are largely being discussed in Armenia nowadays and that will not be a secret if I say that includes membership in the European Union," Mirzoyan said in an interview with Turkey's TRT World TV station.

"The people of Armenia have European aspirations, and as I said, we are going through the process and we will see what the end of the process will be, which no one can predict at the moment."

He was speaking on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.
