    Armenian officers attending NATO conference in Baku

    YEREVAN. June 23 (Interfax) - Two Armenian Defense Ministry officers
    are taking part in the NATO conference in Baku, following
    Azerbaijan's promises to ensure their security, the Armenian Defense
    Ministry's press service told Interfax.

    "The country hosting [the NATO conference] has pledged to ensure the
    security of the two Armenian officers in Baku," the press service
    said.

    Armenia's concerns were sparked by a Tuesday rally by the
    Organization for the Liberation of Karabakh. Some 40 members of the
    group, protesting the presence of the Armenian military men in Baku,
    tried to break through the police cordon to enter the Europe Hotel,
    the venue for the NATO conference.

    Delegations from NATO's 24 member-nations are taking part in the
    conference, which is aimed at preparing the Cooperative Best Effort
    04 exercises. These military exercises will be held in Azerbaijan in
    September.
