Russia’s proposal on the joint use of the radar station in Gabala, Azerbaijan, remains unchanged but it will be considered only after Moscow and Washington agree on common missile threats, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during an annual press-conference in Moscow. Russia proposed to the US to jointly use the Gabala radar station to control the southern hemisphere instead of the U.S planned station in the Czech Republic. On September 17, 2009, the US administration announced its intention to abandon its missile plans in Eastern Europe, which had been originally put forward by former US president George W. Bush. The Gabala Radar Station was built in 1978 and served as one of the major elements of the Soviet system of anti-missile defense. Russia continued to rent the Gabala station after Azerbaijan gained  autonomous status.
