Kyrgyzstan in talks on hosting second Russian military base -PM to agency

ALMATY: Kyrgyzstan is in talks with Moscow about hosting a second Russian military base, Russian news agency RIA quoted Kyrgyz Prime Minister Sapar Isakov as saying on Monday.
During a visit last week to Moscow, Isakov suggested situating the base in the southern part of the Central Asian country close to its border with Tajikistan — where Russia also has a similar facility.
“There is no final decision from either of the sides,” RIA quoted him as saying in an interview. “Negotiations continue on this matter.”
Close ally Kyrgyzstan already hosts a Russian air base located near its capital, Bishkek.
