    AZERI DEFENCE CHIEF, US AIR FORCE COMMANDER DISCUSS COOPERATION


    Baku, 28 July: Azerbaijani Defence Minister Safar Abiyev today
    received the commander of the US Air Forces in Europe (USAFE), Gen
    Robert H. Foglesong.

    The two men exchanged views on bilateral cooperation in the
    military-political sphere. Gen Foglesong thanked Azerbaijan for its
    support for operations against international terrorism.

    Talking about the aim of his visit to Baku, he said he would like to
    familiarize himself with the Azerbaijani air forces. "I believe that
    cooperation between the air forces of our countries will strengthen
    after my visit," he said.

    Abiyev criticized the US government for allocating equal military aid
    to Armenia and Azerbaijan and also for allocating 5m dollars to the
    separatists in Nagornyy Karabakh.

    In turn, Foglesong voiced his hope that Azerbaijan will choose a
    peaceful way to resolve the Karabakh conflict.
