Armenia’s Pashinyan in talks to join EPP

Fresh from storming to victory in Armenia, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is in talks to bring his pro-EU Civil Contract party into the European People’s Party, Rapporteur has learned.

No formal decision has been taken and a timetable has yet to be confirmed, but Pashinyan has signalled his interest and the pan-European centre-right family could approve Civil Contract’s membership later this year.
