Bishkek. February 4. Kazakhstan Today - The government of Kyrgyzstan has made a decision on termination of the term of the military base Gansi in the territory of the country. The President of Kyrgyzstan, Kurmanbek Bakiev, stated it during the press conference, following the results of the negotiations with the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, the agency reports citing the press service of Kyrgyzstan president.

As for the prospects of the air base of the coalition forces located in Bishkek, the head of the state said that the base was created when the operations in Afghanistan were conducted with application of artillery and military-air forces. "Kyrgyzstan provided its territory for struggle against international terrorism. I consider that our country during these years has brought serious contribution to this cause," K. Bakiev said.

The head of the state noted that when the air base was being created we agreed on one-two year period, but 8 years have passed since then. "During realization by the coalition forces of the goals of struggle against international terrorism, Kyrgyzstan repeatedly discussed with the American partners the economic compensation to the country for the base. But, unfortunately, we have not come to understanding with the USA," K. Bakiev noted.

In his turn, speaking about safety of the region, D. Medvedev emphasized the necessity of uniting the efforts in this direction.
