Azerbaijan Declines to Join EPC Summit Documents

Dublin:Azerbaijan has opted not to join three key documents adopted at the European Political Community (EPC) Summit held in Dublin on November 12. The documents include the "Declaration on the fundamental principles of European security," the "Statement on migration," and the "Statement of the European Coalition against drugs." These initiatives were introduced by certain countries and entail additional obligations.

According to Trend News Agency, Aykhan Hajizada, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, explained the decision in response to media inquiries. He highlighted that the EPC serves as an informal platform to foster dialogue, trust, and cooperation among countries.

Hajizada further stated that Azerbaijan's participation in the EPC is primarily aimed at exchanging views on common interests, discussing shared challenges, and exploring opportunities for cooperation with other nations. The decision not to join the documents was made to avoid the additional legal and political obligations they would impose.
