    31 Aug 06

    Excerpt from unattributed report by Azerbaijani newspaper Ekspress
    on 31 August headlined "The dispatch of soldiers to Lebanon is not
    a subject of discussion"

    "The dispatch of Azerbaijani peacekeeping forces as part of the
    international peacekeeping contingent to Lebanon is not a subject
    of discussion," Azerbaijani Defence Minister Safar Abiyev has told
    journalists. The minister said that Azerbaijan had been made no
    proposals about the dispatch of its peacekeeping contingent to Lebanon.

    Abiyev said that the Azerbaijani army would not need help of
    the Turkish armed forces should war starts [with Armenia]. "The
    Azerbaijani army is able of doing everything and can itself conduct
    all operations," he said.

    [Passage omitted: Abiyev did not give details of discussions about
    GUAM armed forces]
