Azerbaijan has not joined three declarations adopted at the 9th European Political Community (EPC) summit in Dublin on November 12, citing the additional legal and political commitments they entail.

Axar.az reports, citing Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Aykhan Hajizada, that several countries joined the Declaration on Key Principles of European Security, the Statement on Migration, and the Statement of the European Coalition Against Drugs, which were proposed by a number of countries.

Hajizada said the EPC was established as an informal platform for dialogue aimed at promoting mutual trust and cooperation among countries.

He noted that Azerbaijan’s participation in the EPC is intended to facilitate an exchange of views on matters of common interest, discuss approaches to shared challenges, and explore opportunities to further strengthen cooperation with participating countries.

"Accordingly, Azerbaijan has not joined the aforementioned documents that entail additional legal and political commitments," Hajizada said.
