Uzbekistan 03/08/2009 Uzbekistan against deploying additional troops in Central Asia
Central Asia
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Uzbek side does not see any necessity and suitability in implementing the plans in terms of deploying the additional contingent of the Russian armed forces in the south of Kyrgyzstan, Jahon news agency of Uzbek Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday, 3 August.

The statement said deploying the additional contingent of the Russian armed forces in the south of Kyrgyzstan is stipulated about in the Memorandum “On the intentions of the Russian Federation and Kyrgyz Republic on further developing and improving the bilateral treaty and legal basis, which regulates the stay of the Russian military formations on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, and deploying of additional Russian military contingent on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic” signed on 1 August 2009.

The implementation of such projects on the rather complex and difficult-to-predict territory, where the borders of the three Central Asian republics directly meet, may render an impetus for strengthening the processes in terms of militarization and arousing various nationalistic confrontations, as well as the actions of radical extremist forces that could lead to a serious destabilization of situation in the greater region.
