YEREVAN. – If Russia needs a new radar station in the South Caucasus
it would better build it in Armenia, says military expert Artsrun
Hovhannisyan.

The expert commented on Armenian Premier Tigran Sargsyan’s remarks
to Russian Kommersant newspaper. He said Armenia is ready to discuss
construction of a radar station in its territory.

It is difficult to comment on likelihood of radar station construction
in Armenia, Hovhannisyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“The Azerbaijani Gabala radar station is technically outdated. If the
Russians need a new station in the region they would better construct
it in Armenia, which is situated on the south and enables better
coverage,” he said.
