Russia has put forward a response financial claims of Kyrgyzstan
113
Moscow harshly responded to the words of Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev that he was not paid for the Russian military base located in Kyrgyzstan in Kant. The debt amounts to 15 million dollars. This amount will come in the next ten days, as agreed by the Kyrgyz president, thereby "shocking" Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. However, at the same time, the Kyrgyz side was reminded that its state debt to Russia, which is 493 million dollars, remained unpaid to Russia. The Kremlin indicated that this issue is more complex.
For example, the Kremlin reported that during the negotiations between the presidents of Russia and Kyrgyzstan that took place recently in Moscow, when discussing a whole range of issues relating to further bilateral cooperation between the two countries, particular attention was paid to the consideration of the issue of mutual settlements on debts. In particular, Russian President Medvedev expressed readiness in the coming days to pay for the rent of a military base and for the use of infrastructure facilities located in Kyrgyzstan, in the amount of 15 million dollars.
At the same time, the Kremlin’s press service notes that the most difficult issue is the repayment of Kyrgyzstan’s state debt to the Russian Federation, which is 493 million dollars (almost half a billion dollars). The Kremlin’s statement also stresses that the Russian side understands the difficulties that partners are experiencing in connection with the difficult financial and economic situation in Kyrgyzstan, and confirm their readiness to search for various options that can resolve this debt. The solution to this problem, the Kremlin believes, largely depends on the position of the leadership of Kyrgyzstan. Last Saturday, Kyrgyz President Atambayev said that the Russian Federation owed 15 millions of dollars to rent a military base located in Kyrgyzstan at Kant. The Kyrgyz leader said that he discussed this issue during a meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. According to Atambayev, Russia did not pay for renting a Russian base in Kant for four years without the knowledge of Russian President Medvedev.
