"An active dialogue between NATO and Azerbaijan is very important for
regional stability and cooperation. Azerbaijan is a reliable partner
of NATO', - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said after meeting with
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, APA reports quoting the
official website of the Azerbaijani President.
The President noted that the relations between Azerbaijan and NATO
member states are very broad, predictable and are friendly character
and this, in turn, further increases the current relationship between
NATO and Azerbaijan.
'We are working on many issues. One of these questions - the situation
in Afghanistan. Azerbaijan from the first day to participate in
peacekeeping operations and contributed to operations International
Security Assistance Force. We have doubled the number of our troops in
Afghanistan. We contribute and by supporting the placement, transit,
logistics, including the use of air space. Today, over 30 percent are
sent to Afghanistan nonmilitary cargo transported via Azerbaijan. We
are ready to continue our work", - the head of State said.
The President stressed that Azerbaijan is ready to participate in the
development process and after 2014: "We are also involved in training
programs, non-military aid programs. We have helped the Fund for the
Afghan National Army and made a statement for further assistance. In
other words, this is a very sincere and open co-operation based on
common values. We will do everything possible to ensure that our
Afghan friends were able to eliminate all the difficulties arising in
front of them".
The President said that with NATO Secretary General discussed the
situation in the region, regional security and the
Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: "Azerbaijan is
committed to an early resolution of the conflict based on the
principles of international law and territorial integrity. We are very
grateful for the support of NATO's territorial integrity. This is
reflected in the documents of the Chicago summit, as well as the
previous and the Lisbon summit in Bucharest. Azerbaijani lands, we can
say that its already 20 years under occupation. We must put an end to
this injustice, to remove this regional threat".
According to the president at the meeting was also discussed energy
security: "Azerbaijan is working closely with NATO member states on
the issue. We have opened vast reserves of energy, has a modern
transportation infrastructure, pipelines. We plan to build a new
pipeline TANAP. Through this line, we can transport our resources to
the European markets. As a reliable partner in the field of energy
security, Azerbaijan is ready to continue its efforts to strengthen
the partnership. I am confident that this partnership will continue,
and given that we are already working with the Member States on issues
of energy security, it will be successful. In the energy balance of
some member countries the share of Azeri oil exceeds 30 percent. I am
sure that there will come a time when our gas will also play a major
role in gas consumption in Europe, our friends and neighbors".
