Azerbaijan has refused to allow Armenian officers to attend NATO
exercises in Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry has said.
Azerbaijan’s ANS TV on 13 September quoted the State Border Service as
saying that the Armenian officers had not crossed Azerbaijan’s borders.
Armenian Radio reported on the 13th that five Armenian officers had
already returned home from Georgia, where the Azerbaijani embassy
had refused to issue visas for them.
A NATO delegation is due to visit Yerevan today and will discuss the
visa issue with the Armenian leadership, Armenian Radio said.
