"It’s unacceptable to have a facility in Kyrgyzstan that poses a threat to its security. Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambaev made this statement during a news conference in Bishkek devoted to the summary of the outgoing year. His statement concerns the American base located at the Manas civilian airport.
The American base was set up in 2001 to support the international anti-terrorist coalition operating in Afghanistan. Later, it was turned into a centre for handling cargo transit of the American Air Force. Its task is to refuel aircraft and airlift cargo and passengers to Afghanistan and back on board the C-17 military transport planes. Up to now, it has been the main aero-mobile hub of the operation code-named “Operation Enduring Freedom” in Afghanistan."
