    Baku, 4 October: Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met US
    Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Lincoln
    Bloomfield on 4 October. Bloomfield spoke about the expediency of
    holding military exercises and events of this kind to expand military
    ties between the two countries. Speaking highly about Azerbaijan's
    support for the USA in fighting terrorism, Bloomfield emphasized the
    need for the further expansion of bilateral relations and their
    continuation within the framework of international organizations.

    Mammadyarov said that Azerbaijan attached major importance to
    partnership with the USA. The Azerbaijani military backs the US
    efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, he added. Mammadyarov hoped
    that the USA would become more active in the settlement of the
    Nagornyy Karabakh conflict as a co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group.

    Bloomfield said that the USA was very sensitive to tension in
    Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict. He said
    that official Washington would continue its efforts to settle the
    problem.
