AZERBAIJAN OFFERS UNIT FOR NATO CONTINGENT.
Azerbaijan, sharing kinship ties with Turkey, had embarked somewhat earlier than Georgia on military cooperation with that NATO country. Azerbaijan has now gone a step further. The presidential office and Foreign Ministry have announced that Baku offers to contribute a platoon to NATO’s planned peacekeeping operation in Kosovo. The Azerbaijani platoon would serve as a component of a Turkish battalion under NATO operational command. Latvia has also offered a platoon for Kosovo duty (Turan, March 1; AzadInform, March 4).
