    On April 16, Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan, colonel-general Safar
    Abiyev has met the ambassador of Romania in Azerbaijan Nikolay Ureke.

    Azerbaijan President Heydar Aliyev and the President of Romania Ion
    Iliescu has laid the foundation of the Azerbaijani-Romanian relations,
    and now these relations are at a desirable level. Also at a good level
    is the Azerbaijani Romanian military cooperation. After visits of the
    Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan to Romania and Minister of Defense
    of Romania to Azerbaijan this cooperation has even more become
    stronger.

    Having thanked colonel-general S. Abiyev for warm reception and
    congratulations, ambassador N. Ureke has agreed with the idea that
    political relations of two states are at a good level. However, the
    Ambassador has noted, that our economic links do not correspond the
    level of political relations. He told:`The Romanian state already is a
    member of the NATO. This membership means the new status for the
    Romanian society. Henceforth, Romania more will provide confidently
    the national safety. The next desire of people of Romania is
    membership of the country in the European Union'.

    Having informed then about the stages gone by Romania up to admission
    to the NATO, he has told, that to one of primary factors of it was
    radical reformsin the Army of Romania.

    Ambassador N. Ureke informed Minister of Defense on participation of
    divisions of the Armed Forces of Romania in combat against the
    international terrorism.

    Colonel-general S. Abiyev has congratulated Romanian people and the
    state on the occasion of admission of Romania to NATO. He had
    comprehensive exchangeof opinions on the existing military-political
    situation in region of the Southern Caucasus, the reasons and
    sequences of the Armenian -Azerbaijani conflict. The Minister has
    noted that having placed on occupied territories of Azerbaijan a
    significant amount of military techniques {technical equipment},
    weapon and ammunition, Armenia thus breaks the contract `On
    conventional armed forces in Europe'. It is serious threat of national
    security of Azerbaijanthat creates great danger to realization of
    large economic projects. He told:`Azerbaijan opposes terror and
    separatism. Azerbaijan participates in antiterrorist
    operations. Divisions of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan adequately
    carry out and will carry out henceforth the peace-making mission to
    Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq '.
