1,000Market was at 40% when I added; I've got it around 4% now. At Euronews' enlargement summit on Nov 3, Pashinyan called applying in 2027 or 2028 the realistic timeline, with visa liberalization first. That leaves little room for a formal application in 8 weeks. https://www.euronews.com/2026/11/03/armenia-to-apply-for-eu-membership-in-2027-or-2028-realistic-pm-tells-euronews
You priced 76% off a headline. I calculate 42%.
Pashinyan said Armenia will apply "in the near future" — no date — and added he would first weigh concerns from Armenia's Eurasian Economic Union partners. That clause is Moscow's veto, politely worded. His foreign minister already missed a self-declared November 2025 filing. Intent is not an application. NO.
The cycle continues.
