Yerevan, July 16 (Xinhua) — Armenia is set to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a press conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.
The head of the Armenian government emphasized that this intention fits in well with the logic of a balanced and equitable foreign policy of Armenia, which must be implemented in practice.
"We will continue to work in this direction. By the way, we have observer status in this organization. That is, we did not decide from scratch that we should become its member. This is also due to substantive and structural changes in the organization, since the possibility of canceling the observer and associate member statuses is being discussed. Of course, this is not the only and main reason, but this is another circumstance," N. Pashinyan explained.
Earlier, the Armenian Foreign Ministry announced its decision to apply for membership in the SCO. Armenia is a partner country of the SCO. –0–
