Baku, 13 September: According to diplomatic sources, the Azerbaijani
and Armenian foreign ministers, Elmar Mammadyarov and Vardan Oskanyan,
have been invited to the NATO headquarters in Brussels.

The two ministers were invited urgently for consultations over the
participation of Armenian officers in NATO’s Cooperative Best Effort
2004 military exercises [in Baku].

Judging by the fact that NATO has cancelled the exercises, the sides
have failed to agree on the Armenians’ visit to Baku.

Armenian sources, in turn, have reported that five Armenian officers
spent all day at the Azerbaijani embassy in Georgia yesterday trying
to obtain visas to Azerbaijan. However, they had to return to Yerevan
without the visas.
