Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin hopes Russia and the United States will agree on deployment of GLONASS and GPS stations before 1 September.

Cooperation with the United States in the area of navigation should continue despite problems, Rogozin said. "Despite some difficulties we have with the United States, we believe it is necessary to continue cooperation," the deputy prime minister stressed.

Russia has recently made a statement that cooperation in the navigation area should be formed on the basis of certain parity and proportionality, he said, saying that eleven GPS stations deployed in Russian territory by the US in the early 1990s are still working.  

“Perhaps we had the right to expect it to be possible to deploy similar GLONASS stations on the territory of the United States," Rogozin said.

"I hope we have been heard not only in navigation departments, but first of all in Washington. I hope we will find full understanding by 1 September, or we will have to do something with the stations," Rogozin told a meeting of the Technoprom 2014 forum.
