1. (U) This is an action request. Please see paragraph 2.
2. (SBU) The Embassy has completed an informal translation of
Azerbaijani's military doctrine. This translation has been
sent to PM, EUR/CARC, and OSD Policy. The Embassy requests
that State and DoD facilitate a timely technical review of
the document and then send the expert-level review comments
back to the Embassy. The Foreign Ministry has requested U.S.
comments on this draft document. We believe it will be
submitted to Parliament for passage in the fall session. It
represents a unique opportunity for the USG to influence
military strategy.
