    The European MP noted the importance of Azerbaijan's special position
    in the European Neighbouring Policy to establish strategic cooperation
    between the organization and the country and said that Azerbaijan
    has the potential. He added that not only is the oil and gas policy
    of Azerbaijan important for the European Union, but its geopolitical

    which Azerbaijan can make in cooperating between EU and Middle Asia.
