Representatives of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry are in
negotiations with NATO officials in Brussels on the participation of
Armenian servicemen in the NATO exercises in Baku. Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyarov has told the Interfax-Azerbaijan news agency that
Azerbaijan’s stance will be brought to the attention of NATO officials
during the Brussels consultations. The minister noted that during
the negotiations the parties were mainly calculating the number of
servicemen Armenia will send to the exercises. Stressing that Baku
has taken many obligations to NATO, the minister said that refusing
these could be a blow to the individual cooperation plan between
Azerbaijan and NATO.
