YEREVAN. June 23 (Interfax) – Two Armenian Defense Ministry officers are taking part in the NATO conference in Baku, following Azerbaijan’s promises to ensure their security, the Armenian Defense Ministry’s press service told Interfax.
“The country hosting [the NATO conference] has pledged to ensure the security of the two Armenian officers in Baku,” the press service said.
Armenia’s concerns were sparked by a Tuesday rally by the Organization for the Liberation of Karabakh. Some 40 members of the group, protesting the presence of the Armenian military men in Baku, tried to break through the police cordon to enter the Europe Hotel, the venue for the NATO conference.
Delegations from NATO’s 24 member-nations are taking part in the conference, which is aimed at preparing the Cooperative Best Effort 04 exercises. These military exercises will be held in Azerbaijan in September.
