Army Col. Alpo Portelli, chief of the European Division, U.S. European Command Directorate of Strategy, Policy and Assessments and Colonel Samandar Mammadov, Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan Chief of Division, Operations and Combat Training Department, discussed issues during the EUCOM-Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan Colonels' Working Group meeting Feb. 21-24.

The three-day working group is the first event designed to bring key Azerbaijani officers from its Ministry of Defense together with key officers from EUCOM and its components to discuss the EUCOM-Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan Work Plan.

The Work Plan process continues in April 2007 with the Bilateral Cooperation and Planning Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, where activities supporting the objectives agreed to during the Colonels' Working Group are planned for fiscal year 2008.

Confirming the information, the US Embassy Public Affairs Officer Jonathan Henick told that he is not aware of the details of the Work Plan and the agenda of the conference, APA reports.
