Baku eyes space navigation co-op with Moscow
Azerbaijan is considering cooperation with Russia in the GLONASS
space navigation system, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergey
Ivanov has said.
According to him, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev took interest in the system after a demonstration during the meeting with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in the Russian Volga city of Ulyanovsk on Tuesday, Russian RIA Novosti news agency reported.
"President Aliyev expressed a desire in entering practical cooperation with Russia in this area," Ivanov said.
He noted that international space cooperation is actively carried out with CIS countries.
"The format of our interaction should be defined not only through political considerations, but also benefits of an economic nature, which can be achieved only if there is a full-fledged legal treaty base providing reliable protection and preserving national missile and space technologies," Ivanov said.
He added that besides Russian companies and citizens, GLONASS receivers are already in use in Kazakhstan and Ukraine.*
