Russia will take a serious response to possible deployment of the European missile defense system in Norway. This was stated by Russian Ambassador to Norway Teimuraz Ramishvili in an interview with the newspaper Dagbladet.
The Ambassador asked what would be the reaction if Norway will deploy a NATO missile defense system.
“We will follow the answer, not only Norway, but all the NATO bloc,” – said the Russian diplomat.
According to him, Norway and Russia must engage in dialogue and to be good neighbors. However, Oslo refuses to discuss the issues of European missile defense. “It’s very sad,” said Ramishvili.
Earlier, the Norwegian authorities have stated that they are ready to participate in the creation of the European missile defense system. The country has modern frigates and radar systems that can be upgraded and included in the missile defense system.
