It is enough for us to have a stable, domestic resource-based and diversified economy, and good bilateral economic relations with the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. If we see the practical advantages of additional integration, we will of course evaluate them. We will evaluate the pros and cons and make the right decision. If we see the practical advantages of additional integration, we will of course evaluate them. We will evaluate the pros and cons and make the right decision.

Axar.az reports that President Ilham Aliyev said these words during his speech at the international forum on "COP29 and Green Vision for Azerbaijan".

"According to the information we have, economic disagreements occur between member states from time to time, and as I said, we have very good relations, including economic relations, with all members of the Eurasian Economic Union, except for Armenia. We don't want to be in a conflict situation or to be forced to take steps that could harm our economic partners," the President emphasized.

The Azerbaijani leader also said that we currently have no such plans (to join the EU - ed.):

"However, we cannot say that we will not consider it in the future. Everything will depend on what additional economic benefits the rapprochement will bring. If we see such an advantage, we will make a decision. Otherwise, we are satisfied with today's situation."
