Russia has plans to transform the Gabala radar station into a military
base, APA News Agency reports, citing military sources.
The Azerbaijani authorities are reportedly unwilling to extend the
rent agreement as they do not accept several proposals “conflicting
with the country’s constitution”.
The country is said to be concerned that the station might lose its
status of an information and analytical center in case of turning into
a military base. The Azerbaijani Constitution prohibits the operation
of a foreign state’s military base on the country’s territory.
But the military sources said Azerbaijan wishes to prolong the tenancy
period in by bringing the prices in conformity with the current state
of affairs.
