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.
