Duma to ratify agreement on Russian airbase in Kyrgyzstan
 MOSCOW ? A law ratifying an agreement between Russia and Kyrgyzstan on
the status of and deployment conditions for a Russian airbase in
Kyrgyzstan will be discussed by the State Duma on Friday, the last day of
the lower chamber of parliament's spring session.
The agreement was signed in Moscow on September 22, 2003, and the base
opened in late October the same year. The agreement will remain in force
for 15 years, but can automatically be prolonged for another five years.
Under the agreement, the airbase in Kant, 30 kilometers east of Bishkek,
Kyrgyzstan's capital, is expected to protect both countries' sovereignty
and security in cooperation with the Kyrgyz armed forces.
"The Russian airbase is to be used for military purposes in line with the
two countries' joint decision and laws," reads the agreement.
The agreement stipulates the Kant base is part of the air forces of the
Collective Rapid Deployment Forces of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO), which includes Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The forces are deployed in the Central Asian
region and are supplied with weaponry, equipment, and other forms of
material support. The base is designed to ensure peace and stability in
the region; it is a defensive facility whose activities are not directed
against other countries.
Every year, the relevant bodies will determine the level of spending on
the maintenance of the base facilities in common use, which are to be
covered by both countries.
About 500 Russian troops, 20 combat and transport planes and helicopters,
as well as Czech-made L-39 training fighters and helicopters for search
and rescue efforts provided by Kyrgyzstan, are currently deployed at the
base.
A declaration adopted by the leaders of Shanghai Cooperation Organization
(SCO), which unites Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and
Tajikistan, at a July 5 summit said: "A number of SCO countries have
provided their ground facilities for temporary use by international
antiterrorism coalition contingents, and their territory and airspace for
the coalition's military transit operations."
"Given that the intensive military phase of the antiterrorist operation in
Afghanistan is over, the SCO member countries believe it essential that
members of the antiterrorism coalition provide a final deadline for the
temporary use of the said facilities and the military contingents'
deployment in the SCO countries' territories," the leaders said in the
declaration.
