The Republican Party of Armenia, Orinats Yerkir and Heritage have become observers at the European People’s Party (EPP), News Armenia reports.
Armenian Minister for Education and Science Armen Ashotyan said in Brussels that such status is the only option for non-members of the EPP. Becoming observers demonstrates the parties’ commitment to European values and readiness for reforms in all spheres, the official says.
The Republican Party and Orinats Yerkir are part of the ruling coalition in Armenia, while Heritage is an opposition party.
