    AZERBAIJAN, U.S. MILITARY COOPERATION DISCUSSED
    [December 10, 2004, 11:47:51]

    As informed in AzerTAj from the press-service of the Ministry of
    Defence, on December 9, Minister of Defence of the Azerbaijan
    Republic colonel-general Safar Abiyev met the delegation headed by
    the assistant of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense on the
    International Security Affairs of the United States James McDougal.
    Colonel-general Safar Abiyev said that President Ilham Aliyev highly
    estimates co-operation with the United States of America in the field
    of defense, and the Azerbaijan party is satisfied with continuation
    of discussions in the given sphere. We are interested in development
    of co-operation from the NATO within the framework of the program "
    Partnership in the name of the Peace". This year the President of
    Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has presented the secretary general of the
    NATO the Plan of activity on individual co-operation. Working on this
    plan, we carry out his positions. We trust, that our co-operation
    from the USA and the NATO will be expand henceforth'.

    Both sides have discussed various issues of co-operation between the
    Azerbaijan Republic and the USA in the field of defense and have
    expressed confidence that shortly this co-operation will reach the
    highest level. James McDougal has told: " Since 2002 of the attitude
    between the USA and Azerbaijan in military sphere have considerably
    become stronger. And we shall not stop at a present level ".

    Minister of Defence, colonel-general Safar Abiyev has noted that the
    U.S. administration always supported Azerbaijan. However we are
    surprised with the actions undertaken by the Congress of the USA in a
    question of settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. While
    occupation of the Azerbaijan lands by Armenia is the indisputable
    fact, some congressmen take steps in support of the aggression fact.
    Annually achieving granting of Armenia the help in millions dollars,
    such congressmen thus render to separative regime of Nagorno-Karabakh
    political and material support. Colonel-general Safar Abiyev said
    that despite of all this, Azerbaijan perceives and will perceive
    henceforth the USA as the ally. Therefore Azerbaijan waits for
    all-round aid from the United States.
