KEK - March 6, 2009: Kyrgyzstan's parliament is set to discuss on Friday the termination of an agreement with 11 countries on the deployment of their military contingents at the Manas airbase, a parliamentary spokesman said.
"The issue has been included in Friday's agenda," he said.
On Thursday three main parliamentary committees approved the termination of the agreement. Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev signed on February 20 a decree to close the Manas airbase, operated mainly by the U.S. Air Force, in northern Kyrgyzstan. The base had been used since 2001 to support NATO operations in nearby Afghanistan.
