Simplification of the visa regime will be discussed in November
Talks on simplifying visa requirements for citizens of Azerbaijan will continue in November in Baku within the framework of the EU "neighborhood policy".
According to Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammadguliyev, to reach agreement on the issue this year is impossible, but it will be probably possible next year.
Mammadguliyev noted that the date of the next negotiations on the Association Agreement is not known yet.
"There will be video conferences, the importance of the plenary session will be identified. There are many open questions, and some that will depend on the position of the EU," said Mammadguliyev uncertainly. -03B04-

On August 31, Azerbaijan observes a "day of silence" before the Sunday’s early parliamentary elections for the unicameral Milli Majlis. All electoral campaigning is prohibited 24 hours before the voting. The early elections were initiated by the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party. This decision was motivated by the overlap of the scheduled elections in November with the global UN forum - the COP20 climate conference taking place in Baku.
