    HOBBINS: I BELIEVE COOPERATION BETWEEN US AND AZERBAIJANI AIR FORCES WILL EXPAND

    Azeri Press Agency, Azerbaijan
    May 19 2006

    Azerbaijan's Defense Minister, Colonel-General Safar Abiyev today
    received the delegation led by General Tom Hobbins, US Air Forces in
    Europe commander.

    The Ministry told APA that Mr.Abiyev said at the meeting that
    Azerbaijan is cooperating with both Azerbaijan and NATO. The
    cooperation with NATO is held in accordance with the Individual
    Partnership Action Plan (IPAP). Touching on the military and
    political situation in the South Caucasus, the Minister noted that
    the Armenia-Azerbaijani conflict is main obstacle to the restoration
    of peace and stability in the region.

    "Armenia is pursuing a destructive policy by avoiding the peace talks
    and keeping 20% of Azerbaijan's territories under occupation," the
    Defence Minister stressed.

    Mr.Hobbins satisfied with Azerbaijan's achievement in partnership
    with NATO stressing that successful implementation of the IPAP will
    make Azerbaijan much closer to NATO.

    "The objective of my visit is to closely familiarize with Azerbaijan's
    Air Forces. I believe the cooperation between US and Azerbaijani Air
    Forces will expand," Mr.Hobbins stressed.

    US charge d'affairs ad interim in Azerbaijan Jason Hyland also
    participated at the meeting.
