U.S. senators: Georgia yavlyaetcya best place for missile defense radar

U.S. Senate Republicans continue to attempt to force the U.S. administration to expand military cooperation with Georgia and believe that the United States should deploy a radar missile defense system in this country, and not in Turkey, as previously planned. A letter, as reported in Friday Blog Cable, published on the magazine Foreign Policy, four senators - John Kyle (AZ), James Risch (Idaho), Mark Kirk (Ill.) and James Inhov (Oklahoma) - sent Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

“We believe that the United States, in cooperation with its allies need to create the most effective missile defense system, which will be able to protect our homeland, our own and allied military forces … We believe that Georgia, with its geographical location may be an ideal place for a missile defense radar, aimed at Iran, and may also provide an advantage in protection against long-range missiles over Turkey, “- said in a letter dated February 3.
Thus, the senators responded to the statements of the Turkish government that Turkey is to host the U.S. radar, but if the U.S. promised not to provide information from this radar to Israel. Turkey wants the radar was operated by its military, as well as to exclude any mention of Iran as a country are a major missile threat is the purpose of missile defense systems.

“Georgia should in future become an important U.S. partner in military cooperation,” - note the senators, referring both to the Pentagon to clarify, we consider whether Georgia is the list of potential countries where it can be placed in the radar, and if not, what alternative to offer defense office
