Electronic defense of borders to be established by 2010

Electronic defense systems will be established in Azerbaijan’s borders
by 2010.

The State Border Service chief, Lieutenant General Elchin Guliyev
told journalists this process has already been started in Nakhchivan
Border Division.

He said staff reductions will be held in the Border Troops’ personnel
related to the electronic defense system.

Commenting on charging the Border Troops with the defense of
Azerbaijan-Armenia borders, Guliyev considers it impossible now.

"This depends on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict to a great extent.
We all look forward and prepare for this day," he said.

Guliyev also said improvements are expected from the meeting of the
Azerbaijan-Georgia intergovernmental commission for delimitation
of borders scheduled for 3-5 August, 2006 in the Georgian capital,
Tbilisi, APA reports.
