Azerbaijan entered into the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe or the CFE in July of 1992. This places limits on their military equipment and provides the destruction of the equipment that falls outside of these guidelines. Azerbaijan openly allows inspections of the military forces in the region. The country approved the CFE flank agreement in May of 1997, and also a part of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has been deemed a non-nuclear weapons state. Azerbaijan is an active member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Partnership for Peace, and has a 90 troop presence in Afghanistan. Also, Azerbaijan kept peacekeeping deployment in Iraq until November of 2008.
