YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, ARMENPRESS: The exact date and parameters for
the removal of Russian property from Gabala Radar Station are being
determined via negotiations between the Russian and Azerbaijani defense
ministries, spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry Alexander
Lukashevich said at a news briefing today, reports Armenpress referring
to APA agency.
"Negotiations are underway through the Defence Ministries of the
two countries to determine concrete parameters for removing Russian
property," he said.
Lukashevich has recalled that Russia does not intend to resume talks
on renewing its contract at the Gabala Radar Station. The agreement
on the status, principles and operating conditions of the Gabala
radar station between the governments of Azerbaijan and the Russian
Federation expired on December 9, 2012, and the Russian side sent
a note halting the operation of the radar station on December 10
last year.
The Gabala radar station located in north-west Azerbaijan was built
during the Soviet period as one of the most important elements of the
USSR's missile defence system. After Azerbaijan gained independence
the radar station became the country's property and Russia continued
to use it.
