Azerbaijan is studying the proposals of the Russian Federation to extend the lease of the Gabala radar station

RIA News. Azerbaijan is studying Russia's proposals to extend the lease to the Gabala radar station, the country's foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov after their meeting held on Tuesday.

"A special commission has been created in Azerbaijan on this issue ... At the moment, the commission is studying proposals from Russia to extend the radar lease agreement," he said.

In March, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said at a briefing that Russia and Azerbaijan are close to finalizing negotiations on the lease of a radar station in Gabala.

In early March, the Kommersant publication, citing sources in the Ministry of Defense and the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation, wrote that Azerbaijan was demanding an increase in the cost of a radar station in Gabala, which Russia rents, from 7 to 300 million dollars a year.

The Gabala radar station was one of the most important elements of the USSR missile defense system. After gaining independence by Azerbaijan and the transfer of the radar to its property, the Russian Federation continued to use the station. The agreement on the lease of the radar by Russia was signed in 2002 year. It expires on 24 on December 2012 of the year. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that negotiations were held with Azerbaijan to extend the lease of the Gabala radar station to 2025. Russia expects to complete negotiations by June 2012, since a new agreement must be concluded no later than six months before the expiration of the old contract.

In 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the United States as an alternative to deploying US missile defense elements in the Czech Republic, the joint use of the Gabala radar station.

The Gabala radar station is designed to detect launches of land and sea ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, as well as for continuous monitoring of outer space. The system makes it possible not only to detect the launch, but from the first seconds to track the rocket trajectory, to transmit data in advance for interception at the desired point in a few seconds after the launch of the rocket.

        Hi Andrey! Do not boil laughing Since we are conducting this kind of negotiations, then it is not time to send such a neighbor to a well-known address. But this hour will come because, with all the friendly assurances, there is such a leap in their demands. says a lot and from this, sooner or later, you will have to draw conclusions. And, as for the word "not friendly", it is more likely - "imprudent" fool

          Hello esaul! About not friendly and imprudent - I will argue! What is there and how there is nothing yet known, as I wrote before so much information that merges on the site about Azerbaijan, it speaks primarily about the systematic work to create a negative image. I repeat-1. Israel increases pressure on the South Caucasus 2. In relations between Iran and Azerbaijan comes moment of truth 3.Azerbaijan will not oppose Iran, 4. | The Korean model is offered to Azerbaijanis 5.Azerbaijan shifter 6.Development in the USA of options for preparing and conducting possible military operations in the Caucasus 7. Armed forces of Azerbaijan will be replenished with Turkish 155-mm self-propelled guns T-155 Firtina 8. Multi-vector Azerbaijan - between Russia, Iran, Turkey and the USA 9. Saakashvili was called an adventurer in the Parliament of Azerbaijan 10. Azerbaijan - Russia: new geopolitical prospects 11. Will Pakistan and Azerbaijan create a military bloc? 12. Moscow may lose base in Kant and the radar in Gabala 13. Iran requires explanations from Azerbaijan regarding the deal with Israel 14. Turkey conducts exercises near the borders of Armenia. Azerbaijan began training in Nagorno-Karabakh-Yesterday there was an article-The US State Department denies that Baku provided Israel with airfields to prepare an attack on Iran, and today this is basically meaningless in context!

            SAMEDOV SULEYMAN,
            Suleiman, greetings, buddy. I read your post in yesterday’s comments. Yes, you can draw some conclusions from this biased selection, but you can suspect the formation of a general anti-Azerbaijani opinion on a particular resource ... You know, articles with such subtext as you saw, because they do not arise from scratch. If they didn’t have real soil under themselves, like many (in much larger numbers and everywhere!) Anti-Putin and anti-Russian published here, they would have been just as successfully swept away by our colleagues as the named anti-Russian ones. But, the soil is there! The true background of our turmoil with Azerbaijan lies in the unresolved Karabakh issue - it casts a shadow over all our relations and whether it will be possible to resolve it, taking into account all the expectations of the parties, is a big warning sign. But Aliyev is taking steps (so far the issue with Karabakh has not been resolved) so contrary to Russia's interests that it provides fertile ground for the emergence of such anti-Azerbaijani sentiments. In regional politics, he nevertheless should focus more on Russia, and not be limited to declarations of strategic partnership and comforting statements about the insignificance of his concessions to the West. And the US State Department can be recklessly trusted only by complete naivets or half-wits.

                Suleiman, and I read this yesterday in the comments of your compatriot - a normal guy. But, what would you expect on the day of your twentieth anniversary - congratulations and good wishes or reproaches and threats? Of course - the first! This is a normal diplomatic practice, and all controversial issues (which, by the way, form a true relationship) are resolved "in working order."

                Whatever you write, what we don’t do, what we don’t show, what they don’t say, for Russians we are traders and Armenians are brothers. Azerbaijan should ponder its orientation. In fact, the same thing. They say that strategic partners, but on the Karabakh issue, this is far from the case. They want oil and gas from us and all that is possible but Karabakh FIG. And for what? Leverage pressure on us. Like this

        It would be great, but the fact is that it is not so much the object that matters as its location ... The construction of such radars in other places will not allow controlling so many territories as with this radar

      Armenia proposed territory for new Russian radar 4 April 2012, 10: 55

      Armenian authorities are ready to provide their territory for the construction of the Russian radar, said Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan.

      "Of course. If our territory is of such interest, we are ready to discuss this issue, ”Sargsyan said in an interview with Kommersant newspaper.


      Answering a question about the radius of the station, he emphasized that coverage could be wider than that of the Gabala radar. “There may even be advantages here, since Armenia is a mountainous country. Coverage may be wider, ”he said.
