The US Department of State's Country Reports on Terrorism 2009 has hailed Azerbaijan's contribution to anti-terror war.
The report says Azerbaijan actively opposed terrorist organizations seeking to move people, money, and material through the Caucasus.
"The country stepped up efforts and has had some success in reducing the presence of terrorist facilitators and hampering their activities. At the end of 2009, Azerbaijan demonstrated an increasing level of seriousness and urgency in taking steps to combat terrorist financing, and is proceeding with efforts to implement its law on anti-money laundering and counterterrorist financing (AML/CTF) and to establish a Financial Investigative Unit (FIU)."
"Azerbaijan has granted blanket overflight clearance, engaged in information sharing and law-enforcement cooperation, and has approved numerous landings and refueling operations at Baku's civilian airport in support of U.S. and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) military operations in Afghanistan. Azerbaijan maintained 90 soldiers in Afghanistan and cooperated with ISAF in medical and social services and civilian capacity-building."
Country Reports on Terrorism 2009 covers events from January 1 to December 31, 2009. This publication, which fulfills a Congressional requirement, aims to enhance the United State's collective understanding of the international terrorist threat. The report also serves as a reference tool to inform policymakers, the general public, and foreign partners of the USA about efforts, progress, and challenges in the campaign against international terrorism.
