The primary goal of the meeting, attended by representatives from the Azerbaijan Ministry of Defence and international experts, is to review, clarify, and formally approve the evaluation questions developed to assess multiple aspects of the units recently declared to the OCC programme. 

These aspects include combat training activities, logistical support and equipment, and the level of interoperability with NATO standards, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation framework.
