/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Installation of U.S. anti-missile assets in Turkey
but not in Eastern Europe will alleviate Moscow’s concerns about
U.S. plans, said Yuri Baluyevsky, chief of the Russian Army General
Staff.

"Iran can develop long-range ballistic missiles no sooner then 2015. So
why not install assets for their prevention in Turkey?" Baluyevsky
said.

U.S. refusal from joint use of the Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan
will reveal the genuine aims of deployment of missile defense shield
in Europe, he added.

"The world will understand the motives. The gander allegedly coming
from Iran is hypothetical while the U.S. offers to create a major
missile defense shield, which is unnecessary," Baluyevsky said,
the BBC Russian branch reports.

The proposal on joint use of Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan as an
alternative to installation of anti-missile assets in Eastern Europe
came from Russian President Vladimir Putin during the G8 summit.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
