"I voted for this report on the signature of an association agreement with Azerbaijan, despite the numerous problems involving this country, in particular, its historical, cultural and political proximity to Turkey and its conflict with Armenia.
However, the EU’s political activity in the Caucasus region is crucial for safeguarding our strategic interests (particularly in terms of energy supplies), and therefore requires agreements with problematic political entities such as Azerbaijan, which has an undisputed key role in terms of the energy resources in the Caspian Sea.
In the same way, we must include Azerbaijan in cooperation with the EU in order to slow down and, if possible, completely eliminate, the risk of a new conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh area, as new destabilisation in the Caucasus would have disastrous effects not only for Asia, but probably for the entire planet. I therefore decided to vote in favour."@en1
