According to him, Russia doesn’t intend to pay money for extending the term of the Gabala radar station lease: “The Azerbaijani side clearly declares its impossibility. Russia has certain concerns and intentions against Azerbaijan. This country wants to get something from Azerbaijan without offering any support. These steps are also related to attract Azerbaijan to the Eurasian Union. Besides it, Russia fears that if Azerbaijan realizes the TANAP projects, the Trans-Caspian pipeline will appear and the competition will increase in the European markets.”
