    BAKU TO MAKE GEOPOLITICAL CHOICE BETWEEN US, RUSSIA AND IRAN

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Raymond Tanter, former senior staff member of the US
    National Security Council, said that Baku may soon face a geopolitical
    choice between Iran, Russia and U.S.

    According to him, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START)
    between the United States and Russia to all appearance envisages joint
    operation of Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan. "The possibility is
    now higher than during the Bush administration," Turan agency quoted
    Tanter as saying.

    "Meanwhile, Iran may accuse Baku of violation of the bilateral
    agreement prohibiting use of their territory by third countries for
    hostile purposes. In this case, Azerbaijan will have to choose between
    the superpowers and conniving with Tehran," Tanter noted.

    He added that Azerbaijan would be much better off under the cooperation
    of Moscow and Washington in this issue than under the sway of Tehran,
    which "aspires to export the Islamic revolution to Azerbaijan."

    Currently Tanter is serving as President of Iran Policy Committee in
    Washington DC.
