/PanARMENIAN.Net/ EU is not yet ready for new expansion, said Eastern
Partnership Czech Coordinator Miloš Lexa. "Ahead of Paris Summit it
was decided that initiative did not aim at integrating member states
to EU or making them associate members. EU is not currently ready for
expansion. Serbia and Turkey’s membership are now under discussion,
but Union is not ready to satisfy a new stream of countries seeking
EU integration," European diplomat said, adding that EU believed that
European Partnership might become preparatory stage for countries’
associate membership.
Eastern Partnership member states are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus.
