    AZERBAIJAN INTENDS TO ESTABLISH FRONTIER CONTROL WITH ARMENIA


    23.06.2005 07:29

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan intends to establish frontier control with
    Armenia, with whom it is in a state of war, reported Deputy Commander of the
    State Frontier Service (SFS) of Azerbaijan Ilham Mehtiyev at an
    international seminar on threats to frontier security in the South Caucasus
    opened in Baku with the support of the NATO Thursday. `Due to the military
    confrontation with Armenia we have not managed to form frontier
    infrastructures yet, while this is the longest part of the state frontier
    (1007 km),' Mehtiyev said. `Today we already carry out preliminary works to
    form the material basis for establishing control over the segment of the
    state frontier. I should remark that is a work of a huge scale and it will
    be hard for us to do it on our own without the support of international
    structures,' he underscored. Mr. Mehtiyev also stated `occupation of Azeri
    territories by Armenia is a factor that has a negative impact on the
    development of the region.' He also highlighted cooperation in strengthening
    the frontier security within the organization of GUAM, whose members are
    Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova. `Our interaction in securing
    frontiers is one of the pivotal aspects of regional cooperation between our
    states and has real prospects. This is a key task we have to solve within
    the next 5-10 years,' he said, the Trud newspaper reported.
