    Visiting US senator opposed to re-deployment of Russian troops in Armenia

    Baku, 1 June: The visiting US senator, Chuck Hagel, welcomes the news
    that Russia has decided to withdraw its military bases from Georgia.

    "But if the arms are moved from Georgia to Armenia, this will cause
    a serious concern. Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia are independent
    countries. There should be no foreign bases in any independent country
    because it creates tension in the region," he said.

    Touching on the Karabakh settlement, the senator said the USA
    supports a negotiated settlement. He welcomed the dialogue between
    the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents held on the sidelines of the
    Council of Europe summit on 15 May.

    "A dialogue is important to reach a consensus," Hagel said.
