    VILNIUS Aug 1 -- Lithuanian military doctors and their counterparts
    from the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan were holding talks Monday
    talks on cooperation issues, including training medical personnel to
    NATO standards, a Lithuanian military medical spokeswoman said.

    "This is our first meeting with Azerbaijan military doctors but we
    believe it will evolve into constant cooperation," Nijole Brazinskaite
    told AFP.

    "We are going to offer a special training programe, approved by NATO,
    to military doctors from Azerbaijan and are ready to accept their
    specialists this year," she added.

    According to the Lithuanian defence ministry, the meeting with Azeri
    military doctors aims at expanding cooperation in the field of war
    medicine with countries in the Caucasus region.

    Lithuanian military doctors held a similar meeting earlier this year
    with medical doctors from Armenia, Brazinskaite said.

    "We offered studies in Lithuania and now are waiting for a reply from
    Armenia," Brazinskaite said.

    Lithuania, which regained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991,
    joined NATO last year.
