Prospects for US-Azerbaijani military and political cooperation are
the main subject of the bilateral security talks which have started in
Washington. Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov represents
Azerbaijan in the two-day discussions. The talks attended by senior
US State Department and Pentagon officials cover numerous important
directions. One of them is military and political cooperation between
the two countries and its priorities, and the energy projects which
are being implemented in the South Caucasus.
Another direction of the talks covers the military and political
situation in the South Caucasus, the work done as part of resolving
the Nagornyy Karabakh issue, proposals and efforts by the sides
[to the conflict].
The third direction of the talks focuses on the crisis over Iran’s
nuclear programme, Baku’s efforts to tackle the issue and opportunities
for future cooperation with the USA in this sphere.
