MOSCOW. Sept 28 (Interfax-AVN) - The bilateral relations between Russia and the countries, which will authorize the deployment of U.S. NMD elements on their territories will worsen, said Andrei Kokoshin, the chairman of the State Duma committee for CIS and relations with compatriots, and the ex-Secretary of the national security council.
"At least the State Duma will recommend the government to make conclusions and take adequate measures in response," he said, noting that the U.S. and other Western nations should understand that the Russian proposal of using the Gabala radar jointly with the USA is not an addition, but the alternative to what the U.S. is going to deploy in Poland and the Czech republic.
"We take negatively the deployment of any U.S. or NATO military facilities, including radars, in Georgia," he said, adding that even the discussion of such possibilities affects the normalization of Georgian-Russian relations.
