Azerbaijan may reconsider Russia’s radar station lease
Baku, June 1, AssA-Irada
Azerbaijan may reconsider the agreement it previously signed with
Russia on leasing the Gabala district radar station to this country
due to the recent transfer of Russian arms from Georgian bases to
Armenia, Russian media reported quoting a source from the Azerbaijani
government.
Baku is expected to demand that Russia close down the station in the
coming days, according to the reports.
“We intend to forge friendly ties and cooperation with Russia,
but Moscow’s latest actions prompt us to examine this. It appears
that Russia is deliberately causing tensions between Azerbaijan and
Armenia”, the report said.
A train loaded with Russian weaponry was dispatched to Armenia from
Batumi, Georgia on Tuesday.*
