BISHKEK, July 11 (RIA Novosti) - Acting Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev said a request made by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) for the United States to determine the timeframes for its airbases in Central Asia was absolutely correct.
"This issue was raised at a SCO summit and rightly so, since the situation in Afghanistan has changed," he told a news conference in Bishkek.
