Armenia says has no plans to join NATO

"We are already cooperating with NATO, we are taking part in peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan, increasing our presence in Kosovo. This is a format of cooperation. As for plans to join NATO, then no. Today, this matter is not on Armenia’s agenda," he said in an interview.

"As for the European Union, Armenia is Europe-oriented," he stated.

"I would like to cite the prime minster’s [Nikol Pashinyan] recent speech at the European Parliament. He said that Armenia is ready to be closer to the European Union as much as the European Union wants to be closer to Armenia," the top diplomat noted, TASS reported.
