The Armenian Defence Ministry has expressed concern over the latest
incident in Baku. Members of the Karabakh Liberation Organization
(KLO) burst into the hotel (where a NATO conference was being held)
and tried to disrupt a NATO planning conference in which Armenian
officers were taking part.
The press secretary of the Armenian Defence Ministry, Col Seyran
Shakhsuvaryan, has told Arminfo news agency: "We think that a host
should feel responsibility for organizing such a high-profile event
and prepare the public to this. Representatives of the US embassy in
Baku and Azerbaijani security services took additional measures to
ensure the Armenian officers' security. The Armenian representatives,
the organizers of the conference and representatives of the
Azerbaijani Defence Ministry were negotiating the further work of the
planning conference. The Armenian side will continue its work in the
conference if the Azerbaijani authorities assume full responsibility
for ensuring the security of the Armenian officers."
