Azerbaijan did not sign the anti-Russian declaration on the basic principles of European security, adopted as a result of the summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in Dublin. Baku did not join the three documents of the summit. In this regard, spokesperson for Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Aykhan Hajizada, explained that Baku views the aforesaid summit of the EPC as a platform for informal dialogue aimed at developing cooperation.

Hajizada noted that Baku consciously refrains from signing documents of a political nature. “It is known that the EPC was established as an informal dialogue platform aimed at promoting mutual trust and cooperation among countries.

The purpose of our country's participation in the EPC is to exchange views on issues of common interest, discuss approaches to shared challenges, and expand opportunities for cooperation with participating countries. In this regard, Azerbaijan has not joined the aforementioned documents, which create additional legal and political obligations," said the Azerbaijani MFA spokesperson.
