On May 4, 2026, in the Armenian capital Yerevan, ahead of a summit, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas told reporters that Armenia will decide for itself on the prospect of joining the European Union.
The statement came amid deepening EU-Armenia ties. According to Kallas, Brussels respects each country's sovereignty and chosen development path, and the final decision on EU membership rests entirely with the Armenian government and its people.
Kallas's remarks were made just before a key summit expected to address regional cooperation and expansion issues. Armenia is currently a partner under the EU's Neighborhood Policy and is actively seeking closer integration with the bloc.
