BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 29. We have a very clear and realistic agenda with respect to relations with the EU, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said addressing the international conference under the motto “South Caucasus: Development and Cooperation”, Trend reports.
"I know that there are aspirations from other members of the Eastern Partnership Program to have a membership. But, we must understand that it is a long process, a very, very long process and in case with Azerbaijan probably it is not a possible scenario. Therefore, we need to base our relations on pragmatism, mutual benefits and mutual interests and not to have over-expectations. Otherwise, disappointment will be there if you put a target and cannot reach, then you start to blame someone for that," the head of state said.
