NATO chief: Azerbaijan works closely with NATO to restore international peace and security

"Azerbaijan is the close partner of NATO and works closely with the Alliance to restore international peace and security," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during a meeting of the foreign ministers of Alliance member-states held in Washington on April 3-4.

He said that by sending its peacekeeping troops and providing its allies within NATO with overland, air and railway transportation, for example, the transit by Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line, Azerbaijan makes a large contribution to NATO mission in Afghanistan. It all constitutes the success of the NATO mission. "And all our partners including in the Caucasian region, make a valuable contribution to our mission," Stoltenberg said.
