    Azerbaijan, Baku, 12 January / Trend corr. I.Alizadeh / The
    Azerbaijani State will invite Armenians to participate in the NATO
    Parliamentary Assembly Rouse-Router workshop which will be held in
    Baku.


    `Azerbaijan will send an invitation to NATO PA member-countries and
    observer countries to take part in the workshop,' MP Siyavush
    Aslanov, a member of the Azerbaijani Delegation to NATO PA and Deputy
    Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, said to
    Trend.


    The 68th NATO PA workshop will be held in Baku on 6 and 8 March 2008.



    Jose Lello, the President of NATO PA, and David Hobbs, the Secretary
    General of the organization, as well as delegates, who represent over
    thirty countries, will take part in the workshop. Representatives of
    a range of international organizations will also attend the workshop.



    Azerbaijan and Armenia broke relations due to the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict which has been ongoing between both countries since 1991.
    Armenia cooperates less with NATO compared to other member-countries
    of the organization.


    According to the MP, Azerbaijan will invite Armenia as the hosting
    country must provide participation in the workshop to all
    member-countries of the organization. If Armenian agrees to take part
    in the workshop, which will be held in Baku, then they will be
    provided with security.


    Azerbaijan has been cooperating with NATO since 1994 within the
    framework of the Partnership For Peace Program. In 2004 a plan for
    personal cooperation was signed between Azerbaijan and NATO. Since
    2007 the Azerbaijani Army has maintained NATO standards.
