Azerbaijan, Baku / corr. Trend S.Ilhamgizi / The political parties of
Azerbaijan comment differently on the Russian President's proposal on
the joint use of the Russian-leased Azerbaijan Gabala Radar Station
with the US.
The opposition Musavat Party considers that the optimal variant for
Azerbaijan is to liquidate the Station. If talks begin on the joint use
of the Gabala Radar Station with the US, Azerbaijan should join the
talks as the owner of the Station. "This issue should be considered
under conditions of ensuring the security of Azerbaijan, including
ecological, political and other interests," Musavat Party states.
The Azerbaijan Democratic Party considers that if the USA accepts the
proposal of Russia, it will not affect the situation with the external
threats and the risk of reactors increasing within the Country.
"If an agreement is reached on the joint use of the Station, Azerbaijan
should use it in favor of itself and as a historical chance to fairly
resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Azerbaijan should receive a
guarantee from the leasing countries for providing the Station with the
new technologies and ensuring the ecological and national interests of
Azerbaijan," Azerbaijan Democratic Party states. If these conditions
are not taken into consideration, the society of Azerbaijan should
make an initiative to close the Station, the Party considers.
The Azerbaijan Democratic Reforms Party considers that the joint use
of the Gabala Radar Station by two big countries fully corresponds
to the interests of Azerbaijan and increases the strategic importance
of the Country.
