NATO has postponed the military exercises that were due to start in
Baku on 14 September, a representative of NATO’s information centre
in Baku, Vaqif Dastgahli, has told ANS.

He said the information would be confirmed officially.

Armenian officers were invited to attend the military exercises within
the framework of NATO’s Partnership for Peace programme. In fact,
the invitation angered the Azerbaijani public a lot.

Thus, the Azerbaijani public led by the president has managed to
protect our state independence. This was not the first time in our
latest history when our independence had been endangered by the now
failed NATO event. History shows that the young Azerbaijani state has
faced and may still face more trials like that. What happened has
also demonstrated that the Azerbaijani people and their government
can be together at most critical moments.
