Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accomplished a two-day visit to
Baku. He discussed bilateral relations, resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and preparation for the third Caspian summit to be held in
the capital of Azerbaijan with his Azerbaijani colleagues.

Journalists were very interested in the issue of the Gabala radar
station.

Lavrov announced, "Russia is interested in cooperation with Azerbaijan
in the use of the Gabala radar station. Naturally, we will implement
this interest through agreements with the Azerbaijani colleagues." The
period of rent of the Gabala radar station by Russia expires in
2012. Literally on the eve of Lavrov’s visit, Azerbaijani mass media
reported that the Pentagon reportedly grew interested in use of the
Gabala radar station. However, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mamedyarov hurried to assure the Russian guest and the journalists,
"The transfer of the Gabala radar station to some other country is
not on the agenda."

Afterwards it was the turn of Lavrov to sooth down the Azerbaijani. He
said that a "document" which claimed that Russia allegedly supplied
a big batch of weapons to Armenia published by the local press was
fabricated.
