Azerbaijan refuses to receive Armenian Defense Ministry's delegation
heading for Baku
Yerevan /Mediamax/. The Azerbaijani leadership refused to receive the
Armenian Defense Ministry's delegation heading for Baku and scheduled
to take part in the session of the Commission of General Headquarter
Chiefs of Armed Forces of CIS states due in the capital of Azerbaijan.
The Armenian delegation arrived in Moscow today to head for Baku
afterwards, Mediamax was told in the press service of the Armenian
Defense Ministry.
"Despite the invitation of the Board of Defense Ministers of CIS
states as well as the official notification sent to the Azerbaijani
Defense Ministry, the host country didn't confirm their readiness
and interest in receiving the Armenian delegation. That's why the
flight for the Armenian delegation from Moscow to Baku was cancelled",
the press service reported.
Mediamax recalls that in January 2004, the Azerbaijani authorities
didn't allow the officers of the Armenian Armed Forces to arrive
in Baku to take part in the conference on NATO's Cooperative Best
Effort-2004 exercises due to be held in Azerbaijan within "Partnership
for Peace" program. At that time, upon Azerbaijan's request, the
relevant Turkish agencies didn't permit the Armenian officers to
enter the airplane leaving Istanbul for Baku.
After long-lasting negotiations on Armenian officers' participation
in the exercises held between the NATO representatives and Azerbaijani
authorities, Azerbaijan again refused to receive the Armenian officers
in its territory and as a result, the North Atlantic Alliance made
a sensational decision by canceling the holding of exercises in
Azerbaijan.
