"We do not have any information that the US is negotiating with Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia to deploy its missile defense system," Russian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Vasili Istratov told.

He said that they do not intend to accuse any country, APA reports.

"Either negotiations are held with the South Caucasus countries, or any of the countries does not give us information about it. We do not have any information of these negotiations," the Ambassador said. Answering the question on the visit of Sergey Mironov, chef of the Federation Council, the Ambassador said he can not say anything about the date of the visit.
 
Commenting on the position of Azerbaijan's Interior Ministry that there are 159,000 Azerbaijanis living in Russia, the ambassador said that Russian and Azerbaijani bodies for migration have not specified figures about it.

"The calculations of the ministry are not based on statistics, but on query. It is very difficult to check up this figures," the Ambassador said.
