    Azerbaijan stages large-scale military drill

    BAKU May 14


    The National Army of Azerbaijan has launched a large-scale military
    exercise near the frontline with Armenia, Azerbaijan's Defense
    Ministry said on Tuesday.

    The exercise under the command of Defense Minister Safar Abiyev, which
    involves both the army and the air force, will last until the end of
    the week, according to a statement from the ministry.

    The exercise will help further enhance coordination between the air
    force and ground troops, and improve operational, technical and
    administrative practices, said the statement.

    The Azerbaijani-Armenian frontline is a contact line between the two
    countries' troops in Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994 following
    several years of conflict over territorial disputes.
