Azerbaijan is not negotiating the deployment of foreign military bases in its territory, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov told Interfax. \"I am telling you that we are not holding any talks on the deployment of foreign military bases in the territory of Azerbaijan,\" he said. \"A military base is a regular facility that cannot be deployed overnight. It requires stage-by-stage negotiations. I can definitely tell you that the Foreign Ministry is not holding them,\" he said. \"We don\'t intend to offer our territory for attacking any states,\" Mamedyarov said. Asked about possible accession to NATO he said: \"The question should probably be addressed to NATO and its member-countries.\" \"We are expanding cooperation quite intensively,\" he added. He reminded Interfax that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev presented a plan of individual partnership with NATO in Brussels in May. \"We expect NATO countries to approve it and in its framework we will continue our cooperation that will be individual in nature and have a higher level,\" he said. Mamedyarov stressed that Azerbaijan is a member of the anti-terrorist coalition with servicemen stationed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo. (Interfax-Azerbaijan)
