Baku, October 10 (AZERTAC). The European People’s Party is interested in cooperation with the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP), said Azerbaijani MP, Asaf Hajiyev.
“A recent visit of the New Azerbaijan Party’s delegation to Brussels has been a success.”
“We’ve had a wide exchange of views on cooperation between YAP and the European People’s Party during the trip,” he said.
Hajiyev, who was part of the delegation which travelled to the Belgian capital, said the talks focused on YAP’s accession to the European People’s Party.
