The Armenians are one step closer to traveling to the European Union without a visa - the European Union Commissioner The European Union Commissioner for Enlargement Martha Kos announced a new phase of getting closer to Armenia. Brussels will provide support for the issuance of new biometric passports to citizens of the Republic, which according to European officials should speed up checks at the border and become a step towards introducing a visa-free regime. "Armenians are one step closer to visa-free travel to the EU. With the support of the European Union, Armenians will now be able to obtain new biometric passports, speed up border checks and simplify travel. Armenia is choosing closer ties with Europe, and we are making that choice work for its people." - Martha Kos. Against the background of European integration, the EAEU partners presented a report according to which the severing of ties would become a disaster for Armenia: the cost of gas could jump by 69%, and the country's GDP risks shrinking by 15.6%. Despite these threats, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan confirmed his policy of defying Moscow. Yerevan plans to apply to join the EU in 2027-2028, which would require an inevitable exit from the EAEU and an actual abandonment of allied relations within the CSTO. Ostashko!
