Azerbaijani Foreign Minister has spoken at the ISAF ministerial meeting.
"Azerbaijan intends to continue contributing to ISAF operations both by sending troops and permitting to use its territory as a transit, as well as providing non-military aid programs to fraternal Afghan people", said Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov at the meeting of foreign ministers of the countries contributing to International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
He said Azerbaijan supported the transfer of responsibility to Afghan government for ensuring security, as well as discipline: "Afghanistan’s government and developing Afghan potential are main factors for successful completion of transition process. Azerbaijan attaches great importance to the international support issue towards strengthening of opportunities of Afghan National Security Forces. During the visit to NATO HQ in February this year, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced the allocation of 1 mln Euro to Afghanistan’s National Army Fund and that money was transferred to the Fund’s account. And it is a beginning. We believe that the large-scale civil training programs must be another foreground sphere".
Mammadyarov said that ANAMA prepared publications in local languages on mine threat for using in Afghan schools and delivered to that country: "It was highly assessed by our Afghan friends. In total, I would like to note the importance of close political dialogue and practical cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO. These were the main factors contributing to ISAF operations and peace and security in Afghanistan".
