Azerbaijan and Russia continue talks on Gabala radar station

According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov, Azerbaijan and Russia continue talks on Gabala radar station. He announced this at a press conference on March 19, the Armenia Today reported.

"We have already determined a plan of how to carry out further work on the closure of the radar station. We have met with the Russian side on this occasion", Elmar Mammadyarov said.

According to Azeri Foreign Minister, the parties have not yet determined the date of complete closure of Gabala radar station.

Recall, Russia ceased operation of the Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan in mid-December. Baku and Moscow have held "intense negotiations" to extend the operation term of the Gabala radar station, but the parties have failed to come to any decision on the cost of renting station.

As a result, the Russian Federation informed the Azerbaijani side about suspension of the operation of the radar station, since the "Agreement between the governments of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation on the status, principles and conditions for use of the Gabala radar station" lost its legal force on December 9.
