The Republican Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir and Heritage have
become observers at the European People’s Party (EPP), News Armenia
reports.

Armenian Minister for Education and Science Armen Ashotyan said in
Brussels that such status is the only option for non-members of
the EPP. Becoming observers demonstrates the parties’ commitment
to European values and readiness for reforms in all spheres, the
official says.

The Republican Party and Orinats Yerkir are part of the ruling
coalition in Armenia, while Heritage is an opposition party.
