    AZERBAIJAN PLAYS OFF RUSSIA AGAINST IRAN AND U.S IN CASPIAN REGION

    Turkey refused to provide transit territory for Russian military base
    logistics in Gyumri [Armenia], 1news.az reports. The source emphasizes
    that after the August war, Russia lost all means to maintain military
    supplies for this base.

    "Iran is the only country for Russia to ensure military logistics
    after Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia refused to provide transit to
    Gyumri. Through Iran, Russia maintains entire weapons delivery to
    the base, that further falls among Karabakhi separatists," Military
    expert Uzeir Jafarov comments on the issue.

    Jafarov's colleague Ildrim Mamedov says Azerbaijani authorities should
    bring the issue before U.S. to re-launch the Caspian Guard program
    "to inspect Russia's weapon delivery to Iran through Caspian Sea". The
    expert hopes for U.S. Army Space, that "gets the Caucasus and Caspian
    territories situation in hand."

    According to Mamedov "it would be good if Pentagon provides us with
    its intelligence data on weapon delivery through this route."
