Armenia's government has approved draft legislation to initiate the process of joining the European Union, marking a significant shift away from Russia.
The move comes as relations between Armenia and Russia have deteriorated since the outbreak of the Ukraine war.
Armenia seeks to withdraw from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which is perceived as dominated by Moscow.
Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan emphasized that the move stems from an intensive relationship with the EU and the need for security and support.
Next, the bill will be presented to Armenia's parliament for approval, paving the way for a potential national referendum on EU membership.
