GO NATO ! GO ! BAKU, Jun 17, 1999 -- (Agence France Presse) Azerbaijan's Defense Minister Safar Abiyev has called for NATO's "peaceful" intervention in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, ministry officials said Wednesday.

"On June 14 Armenian forces three times tried to attack our positions," Abiyev said in a meeting with Italian ambassador Alessandro Fallavollita. "This shows once again the difficult internal situation in Armenia."

"We would like NATO to become involved soon in peacefully settling the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict," he added, but did not say how.

Azerbaijani and Armenian forces clashed Monday in the biggest border incident since a cease-fire was signed between the two sides in 1994. Two Azeris were killed and four wounded, officials said.

Azerbaijani officials recently expressed a desire to become full members of the alliance. NATO has so far restricted all cooperation with the Caspian nation to its Partnership for Peace program.

The two Caucasus countries fought an six-year conflict over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, an area populated mostly by Armenians which broke away from Baku and tried to unite with Yerevan. ((c) 1999 Agence France Presse)
