Azerbaijan, NATO Mull Attack On Tehran Embassy
(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Sabina Mammadli read more Azerbaijani and US representatives to NATO Jafar Huseynzada and
Julianne Smith respectively discussed the terrorist attack on the
Azerbaijani embassy in Iran, Azernews reports.
'It was a great pleasure to meet with Amb. Julianne Smith of the
US to #NATO. We discussed recent deliberate act of #terror
perpetrated against the Embassy of #Azerbaijan in Iran on Jan. 27.
In this regard, I welcomed unequivocal and swift support to
Azerbaijan expressed by the US officials,' Huseynzada tweeted .
He stressed that during discussions, the sides also exchanged
views on the NATO-Azerbaijan partnership and contributions to
international peace and security. Besides, he added that the
US-Azerbaijani bilateral relations, the Azerbaijani-Armenian
normalization process, and the situation around Lachin road were
also discussed.
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 allowed 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 Programme (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.
