    A delegation of the German Bundestag comprised of the chairman of the
    Bundestag commission on budget issues, Manfred Carstens, the chairman
    of the Bundestag commission on issues of confidence, Walter Scholer,
    the vice-president of the federal intelligence service, (?Brig Gen
    Werner Schowe), and others visited the Martyrs' Avenue today where
    they met Azerbaijani National Security Minister Lt-Gen Eldar Mahmudov.

    [Passage omitted: The delegation also visited the grave of former
    Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev]

    Then the delegation was received by Azerbaijani National Security
    Minister Lt-Gen Eldar Mahmudov in his office. Mahmudov spoke about the
    work being done to strengthen stability in Azerbaijan, which is the
    focal point of reforms carried out by Azerbaijan's political
    administration in the area of constructing a law-governed and
    democratic state, socioeconomic development, as well as in the area of
    important international projects.

    The visitors were provided with detailed information on the role the
    National Security Ministry plays in safeguarding the country's
    security, fighting crime and its dangerous forms and manifestations,
    and strengthening the ministry's legal framework in line with
    international norms and standards.

    Then the minister spoke about the work being done to neutralize
    organized transnational criminal gangs which are closely linked with
    international terrorist organizations, about the crime situation in
    the region and the factors affecting it.

    The minister also briefed the German delegation on the public and
    military situation in the republic, on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
    conflict, on uncontrolled territories and on the measures being taken
    in connection with illegal migration, drug trafficking and other
    issues.

    In their reciprocal remarks, the visitors thanked the minister for the
    detailed information and expressed regret that the Western community
    does not have sufficient information about Azerbaijan. At the same
    time, they pointed to the importance of stepping up propaganda work.

    Having expressed satisfaction with the level of German-Azerbaijani
    relations, the members of the delegation said the visit would
    strengthen bilateral relations and facilitate the development of
    bilateral cooperation.

    The meeting was also attended by German ambassador Detlef Lingemann.
