Russia will not place a radar station like "Voronezh Radar" in Armenia
despite previous reports, a source from the Russian Defense Ministry
told Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
Instead, radar stations will be created in the territory of Russia:
Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Leningrad region and Armavir, as well as in
the Transdniestria.
Earlier semi-official sources in Moscow were insisting that Russia
will create a radar station in Armenia if Moscow and Baku fail to
arrive at an agreement regarding the terms of Gabala station. Prime
Minister of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan, in turn, expressed readiness to
provide relevant territory.
To recall, Azerbaijan demands Russia to pay a higher annual lease
price for the Gabala radar station (former Armenian Kutkashen) i.e.
300 million dollars instead of the current 7 million dollars. The
leasing agreement signed with Russia in 2002 will be valid till Dec
24 2012.
