Accession of Armenia to the European Union

On 12 March 2024, the European Parliament passed a resolution confirming Armenia met Maastricht Treaty Article 49 requirements and that the country may apply for EU membership. On 9 September 2024, Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan confirmed that the issue of starting the EU membership process has become part of the Armenian political agenda.

A petition calling for a referendum on whether Armenia should apply for membership of the EU, which was supported by Pashinyan, succeeded in reaching the 50,000 signatures required in order to be submitted for a vote in the National Assembly. On 12 February 2025, Armenia's parliament approved a bill, during its first reading, officially endorsing Armenia's EU accession. The decision for the government to pass the bill, known as the EU Integration Act, was reported to be the first step of "the beginning of the accession process of Armenia to the European Union". Pashinyan confirmed that the country will go ahead with its plans to join the EU in spite of warnings from Russia.

On 26 March 2025, following the second and final reading of the EU Integration Act, Armenia's parliament adopted the bill with a majority of 64 parliamentarians voting to approve it. The bill calls on the Armenian government to begin the process of gaining membership of the EU. On 4 April 2025, President of Armenia Vahagn Khachaturyan signed the bill, officially becoming law. This makes the European integration of Armenia formally part of Armenian legislation.
