/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. abides by the plan of deploying radar and
interceptor missiles in the Czech Republic and Poland, despite Russia’s
proposal to stop the project in exchange for joint U.S.-Russia use
of Gabala radar station in Azerbaijan, Echo Azeri newspaper reports.

NATO representative James Appathurai Thursday in Brussels that Russia’s
proposal will be considered anyway. However, NATO supposes that the
radar station is located too close to potential danger – Iran.

Consequently, prevention of missile raid will be inefficient.

Appathurai said none of the NATO 26 member countries had opposed the
U.S. plans.

The regular sitting of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council in
Brussels is held with participation of Defense Ministers of NATO and
partner states.
