“Azerbaijan is an important and valued partner for NATO for many reasons. We celebrate the 30th anniversary of our partnership this year, and Azerbaijan has participated in many NATO missions and operations over these years. For many years, you were present in our mission, Kosovo (KFOR) and then Azerbaijan was also very much present in Afghanistan over many years. I met Azerbaijani soldiers in Afghanistan and I saw their professionalism and their dedication. Azerbaijani soldiers played very important role, especially towards the end of the mission, protecting the embassy and protecting thoroughly the airport, helping us to evacuate more than hundred thousand people out of the airport in Kabul. So, the last soldiers to leave were actually Azerbaijani soldiers together, with the US and a few others,” Stoltenberg said.
