Azerbaijan, USA to hold joint military seminar
Baku, 1 May: US-Azerbaijani military cooperation continues. US and
Azerbaijani servicemen will hold a joint seminar for junior military
officers on 3-7 May in Baku, the press service of the [Azerbaijani]
Ministry of Defence has told Turan news agency.
According to the source, courses on operating patrol boats will be
held on 5-12 May in the US city of San Antonio. Courses for officers
taking part in air operations will be organized from 5 May to 25
January 2011.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani side cancelled joint military
drills with the USA. This move was seen as a realization of Baku's
threats to halt military cooperation with the USA due to "USA's
non-objective position in the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict". However, experts believe that this was Baku's response to
US media reports about corruption and human rights violations in
Azerbaijan.
