This the way that genuine Oriental diplomacy can be.
Azerbaijan runs 3 radar tracking stations - one Russian and two
American. One is there to track the moves of the USA and NATO the other
two to track missile launch from the Russian and Iranian side. This
fact is not something new. The Russian station of Gabala dates back
to soviet times and used to be the largest in the region; the American
ones were set in 2002 in Astara, nearby Iranian border, and in Khizi,
at the Russian border. But neither the US nor the Azerbaijani official
sources spoke of the stations till September 2005 when US Ambassador
to Azerbaijan, Reno Harnish, suddenly announced about them. The issue
of the stations' existence was touched upon in the US press lately
making the Azeri side edgy.
