"Relations between the EU and Azerbaijan have been defined by a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement since 1999. Under the enlargement of the EU, the European Neighbourhood Policy was also launched, of which Azerbaijan became a part. The European Union and Azerbaijan are currently in the process of negotiating an association agreement, which should become the successor to the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement. The signing of the association agreement would lead to a substantial strengthening of relations with the European Union. Azerbaijan was also one of the first members of the Eastern Partnership. Despite the close cooperation between the EU and Azerbaijan, the country faces many challenges and problems. These are issues in the areas of human rights, freedom of speech and the rule of law. Another problem it faces is the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is marked by many years of conflict and war. I firmly believe that these conflicts can be overcome, and I also support the conclusions of the rapporteur, Ms Jäätteenmäki."@en1
