/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Washington is ready to discuss the possibility of
modernizing a military airdrome in Azerbaijan if Baku asks assistance,"
stated Jonathan Henick, the Public Relations officer of the US Embassy
in Baku. In his words, if Azerbaijan turns to US with a request to
modernize a military airdrome in the republic, Washington will be
ready to discuss the issue and assist Azerbaijan in the framework of
Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP).
"Further that airdrome can be used for refueling the planes heading
for Afghanistan or Iraq from US or Europe. At the same time the United
States does not consider the issue to lodge an American contingent
in Azerbaijan," J. Henick stressed, reports Mediaforum.
