ArmInfo. The European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos stated that Armenia has not yet submitted an application to join the European Union. "We have not received an application from Armenia to join the EU. If we do, we will discuss it," she told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
While not clarifying whether Brussels would approve such a bid, Kos emphasized that Armenia's expressed interest reflects the growing appeal of the European family. "What happened in the Armenian Parliament shows that the EU's attractiveness is now higher than before. To apply, a country must be located in Europe and be a sovereign state. We haven't received an application from Armenia yet, but if we do, we'll consider it," she said.
Kos noted that Armenia must go through several procedural steps before submitting a formal bid. "Certain conditions must be met, and then we'll see," she added.
