'Azerbaijan has never allowed and will not allow the usage of Gabala
radar against the interests of the neighboring states, especially
its allies'.
The statement came from deputy chairman of the parliament's committee
for security and defence Aydin Mirzazade.
Mirzazade said as the lease term of the radar expires next year, the
sides are reviewing the conditions of the agreement. He said taking
into account the change of the prices and situation the Azerbaijani
side gave proposals concerning the increase of the prices and a number
of issues.
'The Russian side accepted the proposals and is discussing them. The
Russian side gave proposals concerning the modernization of Gabala
radar. Azerbaijan being the owner of the property is considering this
proposal and will pass a relevant decision,' he said.
'Some experts say that Gabala radar is used as a means of pressure
against Russia in the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. But
these are not serious proposals. Azerbaijan's position concerning
the resolution of the conflict is clear. Azerbaijan expresses its
principled position in all meetings and we are satisfied that the
Russian side accepts our position.
In this respect, Azerbaijan is trying to solve each problem in line
with its interests and interests of the region. No doubt, these factors
will be taken into consideration in the new agreement on Gabala radar,'
Aydin Mirzazade said.
