Azerbaijan verbally supports the struggle against international terrorism, but actually imposes obstacles for its allies. Particularly, German force increment mission was failed through Azerbaijani side’s fault. Under the Bundestag decision, German mission had to carry out servicing of aircrafts equipped with Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS).

Over three weeks German soldiers were at the defended locality of NATO in Konya (Turkey) and returned to Germany without starting the mission execution. Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan did not grant NATO aircrafts space coordination clearance to Afghanistan.

According to Deutsche Welle, German Defense Ministry spokesman Thomas Raabe confirmed information on German soldiers’ return and underlined that NATO Secretary General is responsible for ensuring the mission execution. At the moment North Atlantic alliance holds talks on the use of defended locality in UAE territory, Süddeutsche Zeitung daily reports.

The aircrafts target is control of the air stream over Afghanistan. At the moment U.S. undertakes this mission.
