YEREVAN, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS. Armenia is ready to have stronger ties with the EU, PM Nikol Pashinyan has said.

“The Republic of Armenia is ready to be closer to the EU, as close as the EU would consider it possible,” the Armenian Prime Minister said in his speech to the European Parliament on October 17. “Our joint statement with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen says ‘in these difficult times, the EU and Armenia stand shoulder to shoulder.’ Let’s continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with a commitment to make the times better. As I said, I am convinced that democracy can ensure peace, security, unity, prosperity and happiness. Let’s prove this together,” Pashinyan said.

He said that the EU has become one of the key partners of Armenia in the past years.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
