The Russian-Azerbaijani talks on the Gabala radar station are in the
last phase, and the sides have reached certain agreement, Zahid Orudj,
member of the Azerbaijani Standing Parliamentary Commission on Defense
and Security, said.
SalamNews quotes Orudj as saying: "It is hard to say that everything
has been agreed upon during the talks. This is a geopolitical problem
rather than an issue of technical use of the radar station. However,
in early December all these issues will be clarified. Russia is
unambiguously interested in prolongation of the agreement, but
official Moscow will try to reduce the price for the use of the radar
station. According to the initial information, an interim agreement
will be signed. The sides will sign the agreement for at least three
years. There is no other way out".
The Azeri MP added that the talks are still going on, but their
details are kept secret, as Russia has not yet agreed to the initial
terms and offers an alternative position and other options and even
exerts pressure on Azerbaijan in this regard.
