Elmar Mammadyarov said that Azerbaijan shares the EU’s dedication to increasing the focus on specific areas of cooperation which partner countries desire to develop: “Economic development, energy, connectivity (transport, ICT and including common aviation area), migration, mobility are in the interests of Azerbaijan to promote in cooperation with EU. Meanwhile, taking note of the EU ambition to promote religious dialogue and cultural diversity in the ENP area, Azerbaijan is extremely keen on sharing its expertise with its lively multicultural environment.
Azerbaijan believes that the flexibility will be exercised easily once both parties manage to fulfil the requirements of previous key pillars. The ENP history has demonstrated that the difficulties to adapt the EU policy towards partners stemmed from the persistent “one-size fits all” policy, miscalculation of individual needs and imposing extreme interdependency between values and interests.
Taking all these into consideration, Azerbaijan reiterates its interest in EU-Azerbaijan cooperation in the spirit of strategic partnership.
In June Azerbaijan will host the first ever European Games – an exciting and innovative new multi-sport event for the continent which will be one of the major sport events in the history of Europe.”
