    Sept 15 2004

    The United States is 'deeply disappointed' by the failure of Armenian
    officers, who were expected to participate in NATO's «Cooperative
    Best Effort-2004» exercises initially scheduled to be held in Baku,
    in getting visas.

    This statement was made by the US Department of State spokesman while
    commenting on the cancellation of the NATO exercises. nveiling his
    stance towards the US spokesman's statement, Azerbaijani Ambassador
    to USA Hafiz Pashayev expressed his disappointment with the fact
    that the United States has not taken into account the reasons for the
    Azerbaijani public's protests against the planned visit by Armenian
    officers to Baku and the impact that these protests may cause on
    talks over the settlement of the Upper Garabagh conflict.

    Ambassador Pashayev stressed that the cancellation of NATO exercises
    will not cause any damage to long-term cooperation between the Alliance
    and Azerbaijan within the Partnership for Peace program.*
