National Council: we need integration into Europe

The National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) issued a statement in connection with the policy of European integration of Azerbaijan.

The National Council called  the European integration "the most faithful strategic choice not having any alternative to meet the interests of the people and the state."

Azerbaijan suffers from negative processes, such as corruption, bribery  falsification of elections, violation of human rights, offshore zones, the presence of political prisoners. The most optimal "medicine" to deal with such phenomenon is the European integration.  The authors of the statement  condemn the authorities of Azerbaijan in creating obstacles to cooperation with the EU.

In the name of their  mercantile interests  the authorities hamper the country's accession to the WTO.

The statement authors call on Baku stop to sacrifice the interests of the state to their own interests.

The National Council calls on the authorities to sign the Association Agreement with the EU and free trade agreement. -05D04-
