Abstract
There has been a lot of talk in the international community and mass media lately about a very important topic—the entry of ten East-ern European countries into the European Union. In particular, Azerbaijani political scientists, journalists, and state officials are discussing the prospects opening up for the republic in this respect and weighing up the pros and cons of this integration. Whereby entirely polar opinions are being ex-pressed—from gloomy forecasts to enthused cries welcoming this opportunity.
This article is an attempt to look at what Azerbaijan’s chances are of joining the EU and carry out a focused analysis of the various vectors of Europe’s enlargement in the context of South Caucasian interests, primarily those of our country.
