Armenia has accepted an invitation to participate in the NATO summit in Washington, which will be held on July 9-11, according to the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Ani Badalyan.
"Armenia has received an invitation to participate in the partner-format event of the NATO summit in Washington and related events marking the organization's 75th anniversary and has confirmed its participation. There are no other arrangements at the moment," Badalyan said.
According to US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien, Azerbaijan was also invited to the meeting of the leaders.
Armenia's rapprochement with the West
Armenia began to move closer to the West after Russia failed to act when Azerbaijan was establishing control over Nagorno-Karabakh in 2023.
Against this backdrop, Yerevan has begun to discuss joining the European Union as well as withdrawing from the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
