NATO COMPLETES ROCKET FUEL DESTRUCTION PROJECT IN AZERBAIJAN
Baku, June 27 (ANTARA/AzerTAj) - A ceremony on the completion of NATO-backed Azerbaijan Melange disposal project was held in the National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) in Baku on June 25.
President of ANAS Mahmud Karimov told of the fruitful cooperation between Azerbaijan and NATO.
NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy, Mr. Jean-Francois Bureau said the completion of this project with Azerbaijan is an excellent example of the Alliance’s co-operation with Partners in non-military fields. According to him, through this NATO Science for Peace project, all the remnants of this dangerous substance have been destroyed and now no longer represent a threat to the local
population and the environment.
The NATO Science for Peace conversion plant for rocket fuel was launched in July 2006 in the city of Alat, where 950 tones of melange were stored.
In the autumn of 2007, the conversion of melange in Alat was completed and the plant was moved to the city of Mengecevir, where another 350 tones have been converted into fertilizer material.
