Rent price for Russian military objects in Kyrgyzstan is not priority -- Isakov.

Head of foreign policy department of the Presidential Apparatus Sapar Isakov commented on ambiguous interpretation of statements on the Minister of Defense Taalaybek Omuraliev by Russian media. Isakov said that the issue of rent price for Russian military objects in Kyrgyzstan is not a priority for Kyrgyzstan. "Placement of Russia military objects in Kyrgyzstan is regulated by relevant bilateral Agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Russia that determines order and conditions for stay of Russian military objects on the territory of Kyrgyzstan," stated in the message from Isakov released on July 12 by Presidential Apparatus press office. Head of foreign affairs department says that the Agreement was signed on September 22, 2003 and is valid through 2020. In addition, the Agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Russia on the order of use of Russian military objects on the territory of Kyrgyzstan and the status of military officers of the Russian Federation from July 5, 1993 was extended until 2017. Isakov said that parties negotiate the project of the Agreement on placement, status and conditions of stay of Russia military objects and officers on the territory of Kyrgyzstan, and rent price is not a priority issue. "Russia is the main strategic partner of Kyrgyzstan and our country intends to fulfill its duties," said Isakov.
