Command, Lt-Gen Mustafa Oguz visited one of the military units of
the Azerbaijani Army, Azernews reports per the
ministry.
First, the delegation visited the monument of the National
Leader Heydar Aliyev erected in the territory of the military unit
and laid flowers. They also got acquainted with the military
equipment in the unit's armament and were given detailed
information about its tactical and technical characteristics.
Moreover, the guests were briefed on the history and activities
of the military unit, as well as Azerbaijan-NATO relations. The
sides then exchanged views on the prospects of the development of
bilateral cooperation. The parties exchanged gifts and took a
photo.
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.
