    NATO OFFICIAL, AZERI LEADERS MULL US-IRAN TENSION

    AzerNews Weekly, Azerbaijan
    April 13 2006

    The US-Iran tension, the Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh
    conflict and cooperation prospects are in focus of the ongoing visit
    by a NATO official to Baku.

    The representative of NATO Secretary General to South Caucasus
    and Central Asia, Robert Simmons, said the alliance and Azerbaijan
    are successfully collaborating. The first stage of the Individual
    Partnership Plan is drawing to a close and implementation of the next
    stage has been discussed with Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov,
    he said.

    Simmons said NATO backs a peaceful settlement to the Garabagh dispute
    and sees mutual efforts by the conflicting sides as pivotal to reach
    peace. During the visit, the NATO official will also monitor the
    country's progress in fulfilling its commitments on the Partnership
    Plan.
