Military exercises would be useful – US official
The US Assistant State Secretary on political and military issues
Lincoln Blumfield said in a meeting with Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov on Monday that US-Azeri military exercises would be
useful.
He also gave a high assessment to Azerbaijan’s support for the USA in
fighting terrorism. Mammadyarov said Azerbaijan attaches a particular
importance to its partnership with the United States and pointed out
the assistance provided by Azeri peacekeepers in Iraq, Afghanistan,
and Kosovo. He also voiced a hope that the OSCE Minsk Group would
step up its efforts at settling the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
Upper Garabagh.
Blumfield pointed out the tensions caused by the conflict in both
countries and pledged that the USA would continue making efforts to
resolve the problem.
