The Armenian parliament approved the bill on ratifying the agreement with the EU on Armenia’s participation in the 2021-2027 Creative Europe program.

The bill was approved with 69 votes in favor, 1 against, and 28 abstentions.

Armenia previously participated in the program’s 2014-2020 stage.

It is assumed that Creative Europe will open an office in Armenia which will raise awareness among Armenian cultural figures, development of skills, and help in finding European partners.

Creative Europe is the European Commission’s program for providing support to the cultural and audiovisual sectors.
