    Baku may agree to install Russian and American ABM system on its
    territory

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Russia and the U.S. have had a long dispute,
    starting from the Munich speech of Vladimir Putin, when he strictly
    criticized Washington's plans related to placement of their
    antiballistic missile systems (AMB) in Poland and Check Republic. The
    U.S. justifies the placement of ABM systems by the danger, coming from
    Iran, while the Russians regard them targeted against Russia.
    Therefore they want those rockets and ABM systems be placed in
    Azerbaijan, rather than in immediate neighborhood of Russia's European
    part,' Azerbaijani political scientist Vafa Guluzade said, commenting
    the statements made by the Russian diplomat Alexander Sternik in
    London. The latter said, that if the Americans really are so afraid of
    Iran, then they can install their rockets and ABM systems in
    Azerbaijan, frontier to Iran.
    According to Vafa Guluzade, the U.S. will not place their rockets and
    ABM in Azerbaijan.
    `Russia is really represents danger for them, and they are eager to
    control it. However, if Washington and Moscow reach agreement over the
    ABM placement in Azerbaijan, then without Baku's participation those
    issues would not be settled. The U.S. and Russia before agreeing,
    first must receive permission from Azerbaijan. Nevertheless, we must
    weigh all the pros and cons of such a proposal from Washington and
    Moscow.
    Taking into account the aggressive behavior of Teheran in the region,
    I think Baku could accept their offer. Anyway, I repeat, without
    permission of Azerbaijan's leadership, neither the U.S. nor Russia are
    eligible to make such statements on behalf of our name.
    I think, prior making such statements the Russian diplomat needed to
    ascertain, if Azerbaijan wanted to install the American rockets and
    ABM on its territory', said Vafa Guluzade, 1news.az reports.
