"Azerbaijan is a longtime partner of NATO. We have worked together for many years," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in a joint press statement with President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in Baku, APA reports.
"We appreciate very much your contribution to our KFOR mission in Kosovo, but also, of course, your presidency and your contributions to our mission in Afghanistan over many years were extremely important.
You're absolutely right, one of the last troops to leave Afghanistan was actually Azerbaijani troops. Because you were responsible for the protection of the airport, which was a key task in the evacuation of the NATO presence in Afghanistan," added Stoltenberg.
