Changes

In July 1992, Azerbaijan ratified the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), which establishes comprehensive limits on key categories of conventional military equipment and provided for the destruction of weaponry in excess of certain limits. Although Azerbaijan did not provide all data required by the treaty on its conventional forces at that time, it has accepted on-site inspections of forces on its territory. Azerbaijan approved the [[CFE]] flank agreement in May 1997. It also has acceded to the [[nuclear]] [[Non-Proliferation Treaty]] as a non-nuclear [[weapon]]s state. Azerbaijan participates in the [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization]]'s (NATO) [[Partnership for Peace]].
