According to Ramil Latipov, the sale of S-300 to Azerbaijan will
strengthen the missile defense system of CSTO.
Despite the leadership of Russia's Rosoboronexport dismissed the
reports of the plans to sell S-300 complex to Azerbaijan, I believe
the possible supply of S-300 Favorit from Russia to Azerbaijan would
have a number of advantages on the background of the planned expansion
of the functions of the Russian military base in Gyumri on provision
of Armenia and prolongation of its term of stay.
The due statement came from director of the Center of Analysis of
Terror Threats and Low Intensive Conflicts (Moscow), creator and chief
of the CSTO International Center of Information Support, Ramil Latipov.
'First, if the sale of S-300 complex is conducted, I think this
will raise the capacities of the missile defense system of the CIS
countries, as well as the missile defense system of CSTO states. In
this case it will be possible to speak of the assistance of the
Azerbaijani side to raising security of the CSTO states, as well
as Azerbaijan's possible joining CSTO in the nearest future, for
example as an associate member. Naturally, the CSTO leadership will
have to develop and introduce a definite tool to reach this goal',
Latipov said.
