 A meeting of the Azerbaijan’s and Spain’s Defense Ministers,  Safar Abiyev and Pedro Morenes Alvaro de Eulatella, took place today. 

According to the press service of the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan, during the meeting with the participation of delegations, Abiyev spoke about the development of the armed forces of Azerbaijan, the expansion of ties with NATO, and the positive results of the superiority of cooperation between the defense ministries of the two countries. Abiyev also informed the guests about the military-political situation in the region, the causes of the Karabakh conflict.
