Armenia to apply for EU membership in 2027 or 2028 is "realistic," Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan says at the #EnlargementSummit26.

Armenia to apply for EU membership in 2027 or 2028, PM tells Euronews l.euronews.com/PR19
I gave an interview to @TVPWorld_com (minutes 08:25 - 20:22) about the issue of enclaves between the enclaves between Armenia and Azerbaijan within their larger programme on that issue.
Small pockets of territory are raising difficult questions between Armenia and Azerbaijan as the countries work towards a formal peace agreement. Armenian PM Pashinyan proposes territorial exchanges that would eliminate their remaining exclaves.
Jonasz Rewiński and his guest Sossi Tatikyan from the Yerevan Center of Foreign and Security Policy examine what a swap could mean for sovereignty, access, and families displaced by conflict.
We also explain why Armenia’s foreign minister rejects the claim that the exclaves are preventing the peace treaty from being signed.
Can the governments agree on borders that their citizens will accept?

Actually, Armenia has concluded strategic partnership with the U.S. in January 2025 and it was upgraded to comprehensive strategic partnership in May 2026.
Sarcasm is appreciated but let's get the facts right.
Pashinyan agrees at SCO summit to develop a strategic partnership… with the US
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met in Bishkek with a US delegation led by Senator Steve Daines.
Among other things, the sides discussed the TRIPP project — a transport corridor through Armenia’s Syunik Province that is supposed to connect Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan.
The corridor will be managed by a joint company in which 74% will be owned by the US and 26% by Armenia.
It is also worth noting that Pashinyan made a notable gesture at the summit: he was the only head of state to speak in a language other than Russian.
Today I made a presentation at the 19th Pan-European Conference on International Relations organized by the European International Studies Association held at the Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon.
#EISA PEC26
I presented on «Multi-Alignment as a Small-State Strategy: Armenia in a Fragmented European Neighbourhood» at the Panel: Small State Security and Alignment in a Changing Security.

The next round of Russian emigration from mobilization - which has already begun - is going to fall almost entirely on Armenia and Georgia. Is anyone prepared to help with this? It was already a catastrophe in 2022 and likely to be worse now. kyivpost.com/post/83340 – at Armenia
What is happening?

From August 10-14, representatives from Armenia’s Border Guard Service and State Revenue Committee participated in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s International Rail Interdiction Training in El Paso, Texas.
🔹 During the training, the Armenian participants gained firsthand exposure to U.S. practices in rail border security, customs controls, risk-based targeting, and inspection procedures for cross-border rail traffic. The program also provided an opportunity to observe these practices in an operational environment and exchange approaches that could help strengthen Armenia’s capacity for secure and efficient cross-border rail operations as the country advances regional connectivity through the TRIPP initiative.
🔹 CBP provides the International Rail Interdiction Training to international customs and border security partners as part of broader U.S. efforts to strengthen port-of-entry and border security capabilities.
