The US-Azerbaijan cooperation in the military sphere is developing successfully, said Azerbaijani Defense Minister, Colonel General Safar Abiyev Thursday during a meeting with the commander of U.S. Armed Forces in Europe, General John Craddock.
Referring to the evolving situation in the region, the Minister said that until the Armenian armed forces leave the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, the apparent tension in the region will further, and as the opportunities for the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict will be exhausted.
Therefore, according to S. Abiev, Europe and the OSCE Minsk Group should reinforce measures on Armenia, otherwise, unwanted processes are inevitable.
Craddock, in turn, also noted the importance of addressing tensions in the region. He praised the contribution made by Azerbaijan in the international security system and the participation of Azerbaijani servicemen in peacekeeping operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, until recently, in Kosovo.
