Russia and Azerbaijan have again failed to reach an agreement on the
Gabal radar station.
The station, which is owned by Russia, is located on leased Azeri
territory. The Russian government has been paying $7 million USD
per year for use of the station and land, which have been under its
control for decades. However, earlier this year the Azeri government
increased its price to $300 million USD.
If the two governments are unable to come to an agreement, there
has been some speculation that Armenia has offered land to Russia in
order to build a new radar station.
