Sabina Mammadli read more Azerbaijani and NATO experts on various educational issues
discussed the prospects for the development of the military
educational system and cooperation, Azernews reports per the
Defense Ministry.
The discussion took place during a working meeting within the
framework of NATO's Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) at
the National Defense University of the Ministry of Defense.
During the meeting, various briefings on the experience gained
in the military sphere were presented.
It was noted that the meetings organized as part of the
cooperation with NATO are effective for both sides, and the areas
of the Action Plan for the next year were determined.
According to the ministry, working meetings will last until
December 16.
Relations with NATO started in 1992 when Azerbaijan joined the
North Atlantic Cooperation Council. This forum for dialogue was
succeeded in 1997 by the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, which
brings together all allies and partner countries in the
Euro-Atlantic area.
Bilateral cooperation began when Azerbaijan joined the
Partnership for Peace (PfP) program in 1994. Thanks to regular
participation in PfP activities, Azerbaijan has been able to
contribute actively to Euro-Atlantic security by supporting
NATO-led peace-support operations.
Azerbaijan's participation in the PfP Planning and Review
Process (PARP) since 1997 has enabled NATO and individual allies to
assist Azerbaijan in developing selected units to improve
interoperability with those of the allies.
NATO and Azerbaijan started work on a jointly agreed Defense
Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) in 2008 to integrate NATO
standards into the teaching methodologies and curricula of the
country's Professional Military Education (PME) institutions.
In 2018, Azerbaijan asked NATO to also involve the Military High
School, a pre-commissioning school, in DEEP.
