MOSCOW. - Duplication of a radar defense system in case of escalation of situation over Iran is quite logical, Russian expert Alexander Sakakov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Israel may shift position on attack against Iran. Americans want to do something but at the same time they are scared, as Iran is not Libya or Iraq. On this background installation of anti-missile defense system in Turkey is quite reasonable and serves for security,” the expert said.

Commenting on Russian FM Sergey Lavrov’s recent statement that European missile shield in Turkey may be used against Russia, Skakov characterized it as ‘not politically correct.’ The system technically can be used against Russia, but currently it is not reasonable.

As whether Russia will take some preventive measures to press Turkey, the experts said that both states have a wide range of developed relations. Moscow will hardly press on Ankara, as it may later turn against Russia.

As informed earlier, Russian FM said that NATO anti-missile radar in Turkey is directed against Russia more than against Iran.
