Azerbaijan plans NATO accession
Azerbaijan plans to become a NATO member state in the future,
First Deputy Prime Minister Yagub Eyyubov has said.
Eyyubov, who chairs the joint commission, said it was difficult to
predict the timing of the country's accession, but added:
"Azerbaijan is integrating into NATO and we intend to become a
member of the alliance in the future. A number of programs are in
place under which annual action plans are being developed and
activities mapped out," Eyyubov said.
He said the second stage of the Individual Partnership Plan (IPAP)
inked with NATO will start in early 2008.
The deputy prime minister added that Azerbaijan was participating
in almost all NATO events within the programs signed.
