Yerevan and Moscow have agreed on the establishment of an advanced
Russian radar station in the Armenian mountains to counter the US
radar set up at NATO base in Injirlik, Turkey.
Referring to its military sources, the Israeli website Debka.com
reports that Russia sent its Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov last week
on a round trip to the capitals of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan - an expedition designed to secure Iran
against a potential US/Israeli attack via its northern and eastern
neighbors. In Yerevan, the Russian minister finalized a deal for the
establishment of an advanced Russian radar station in the Armenian
mountains, Debka reports.
Just as the Turkish station (notwithstanding Ankara's denials) will
trade data on incoming Iranian missiles with the US station in the
Israeli Negev, the Russian station in Armenia will share input with
Tehran, the source reports.
Earlier Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan said in an interview
with Kommersant newspaper that Yerevan may approve construction of the
Russian radio radar station in its territory if Moscow and Baku fail
to agree on the lease terms of the Gabala Radio Radar Station. In
addition, the premier said that in the highly mountainous country
the radar station may cover a broader area.
