"Azerbaijan is crucial as a transit route for ISAF and it will remain so for the post 2014 operation," said Azerbaijan`s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in his speech at the ISAF Foreign Ministerial Meeting in Brussels at the NATO Headquarters, SIA reports.
"We also closely work with our Turkish and Georgian friends. Upcoming Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad and a new Caspian seaport in Azerbaijan will be a serious add-on to the transit capacity.
Our relations with Afghanistan are strategic and brotherly with a strong bilateral cooperation and a serious potential to grow."
"Against this background coupled with our regional security concerns and strong ties with NATO, ISAF post-2014 mission in Afghanistan remain priority in our agenda."
The FM noted, "Azerbaijan, as a potential operational partner to the post-ISAF mission, is capable to contribute significantly in terms of troops, training, transit and financial assistance. In addition, the Government of Azerbaijan has already pledged its contribution to ANA Trust Fund and will continue these donations."
"In the end, let me also say a few words about the Azerbaijan-NATO partnership. We stand strongly for committed and reliable relations with the Alliance. We have shared principles and values, as well as various existing and emerging mechanisms, which provide a solid foundation for our common vision and for further developments," Mammadyarov added.
