U.S shown the Door in Kyrgyzstan

The Kyrgyz parliament has revoked all agreements it made with countries from the U.S.-led antiterrorist coalition in relation to use of Manas air base, RFE/RL’s Kyrgyz Service reports.

The Kyrgyz Parliament voted 90 to 1 on Friday to end agreements with 11 allies of the United States who use the Manas Air Base as a refueling and transport hub for the war in Afghanistan.

Kyrgyzstan says U.S. troops have to leave Kyrgyz territory by August 20.
Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Kadyrbek Sarbaev said Bishkek is not currently negotiating with Washington on the air base’s future.
Sarbaev added that U.S. troops are preparing to leave Manas air base in the near future.
The military base was established to assist the coalition’s operations in Afghanistan.
