BAKU, AZERBAIJAN (AP) - Azerbaijan's parliament has voted to pull the ex-Soviet republic's small peacekeeping force out of Iraq.

The contingent has served in Iraq since 2003, working mostly as sentries, on patrols and protecting dams near the city of Hadid. It is unclear when the pullout will be completed.
