Kyrgyzstan’s President Almazbek Atambayev has called for Russian troops to leave his country when the contract to host them expires, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reports.
Currently Russia’s military presence on Kyrgyz soil constitutes four different deployments all nominally considered one base but spanning different sites. They stretch from an air force deployment in the city of Kant, a naval port in the town of Karakol, a communications centre in the town of Chaldovar and, finally, to a seismological station in Mailuu-Suu.
