Russia calmly treats the possible deployment of American radiolocators in Caucasus, which are components of air defense system, Moscow is sure that they will not be directed to the Russian territory, Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasili Istratov stated commenting on information about United States' intentions to deploy elements of air defense system in South Caucasian countries. "First of all, this issue must relate the country, which is going to construct the system and the country, on the territory of which it will be deployed. That is to say, it's a decision between two states, which does not concern Russia. As we understand, the system will hardly be installed towards Russia," the diplomat said.

Alongside, Istratov added, "If it is directed towards Russia, we will react with corresponding measures. But since most likely the system will be oriented towards other directions, accordingly, Russia will watch it very carefully. However, as much as I can judge, we cannot talk about any decisions of such character, since I do not know any country, which would confirm that American radiolocators are being scheduled to be installed on its territory," Istratov told, Interfax reports.
