    YEREVAN, JULY 30, ARMENPRESS: The process of withdrawal of the Russian
    servicemen and the Russian movable property from Gabala radar station
    has already been completed. As reported by Armenpress, quoting the
    Azerbaijani APA Agency, Azerbaijan and Russia will sign an agreement
    on the handover of Gabala radar station in the near future.

    All movable property of the military facility has been sent to Russia
    by railway. Russian troops leaving the country were accompanied by
    servicemen of the Internal Troops till the state border.

    High-ranking delegation of Russia will visit Azerbaijan in the middle
    of August to sign an agreement on the handover.

    Currently, the station is controlled by the Azerbaijani servicemen.

    Azerbaijan set up commission to determine the property of Gabala
    radar station in November 2012. Russia suspended the station's
    exploitation in December 2012, because Azerbaijan increased the lease
    payment. Azerbaijan demanded $300 million lease payment from Russia
    for the station.

    The agreement on "The status, principles and terms of Gabala RLS
    between the Azerbaijani Government and Russian Government" was signed
    in 2002. Russia suspended the station's exploitation on December 10,
    2012. Gabala RLS, established in 1984 as a missile defense system of
    the USSR, possesses the ability to take launch of ballistic missiles
    over the Indian Ocean - 6000 km radius under its control.

    Azerbaijan received USD 7 million tenancy payment from Russia for
    the exploitation of this station.
