KYRGYZSTAN'S NEW LEADER WILL HONOR US BASE AGREEMENT - FOR NOW...

The US says Kyrgyzstan's interim leader has promised to honour key security agreements, days after she came to power following a bloody uprising.

US officials said Roza Otunbayeva had vowed not to interrupt operations from a military base the US uses to supply troops and supplies to Afghanistan.

The US stopped troop movements from the base, near the capital Bishkek, last week during an anti-government revolt.

... The base, in Manas, is leased from the Krygyz government, but opposition leaders had hinted before they came to power that the current lease could be shortened.

GOOD. BUT I BETHCYA IT WON'T LAST. THIS IS THEIR OPENING POSITION. THE REAL NEGOTIATION JUST ARE BEGINNING.
