U.S. Ambassador Lee Litzenberger joined Lieutenant General
Haydar Piriyev to celebrate the graduation of military officers
from an English language training course.
The MoD's English language training program includes an
intensive four-month course taught by American instructors from the
U.S. Defense Language Institute English Language Center, funded by
the U.S. State Department's Foreign Military Financing program. The
Defense Language Institute English Language Center is a U.S.
Department of Defense activity that provides adult English language
education to military partners around the world.
Ambassador Litzenberger remarked during the ceremony that
English language training is the first step towards other
opportunities for the graduating officers, including attending
professional military education courses in the U.S. Ambassador
Litzenberger said,“We hope that by providing English language
training and professional military education courses that we will
continue to develop long-lasting ties of friendship with our
Azerbaijani partners.”
Lieutenant General Haydar Piriyev said“Both the U.S. and the
local instructors did their best to make the course successful. I
believe that the graduates will honorably represent our country in
the international arena. I would like to thank the instructors for
their great contribution into these courses and the U.S. Embassy
for the assistance in organizing English language training for the
military personal. This program will further strengthen the
friendship between our nations.”
The Azerbaijan MoD and U.S. government have cooperated to
develop the Azerbaijan MoD's foreign language and partnership
center and its English language program for 17 years. The training
provided by this year's English language instructor team
complements previous investments from the U.S. government in
English language training and testing materials for the Azerbaijan
MoD, in addition to training Azerbaijani language instructors in
the United States and donating English language computer labs to
MoD's educational facilities
