Kyrgyz demands big rent rise from US
Kyrgyzstan President, Kurmanbek Bakiyev, wants Washington to pay 100 times the current rent for Manas air base.
Manas air base is an important refuelling point for U.S. aircraft flying operations in Afghanistan.
The Kyrgyz government was demanding that the Pentagon pay reimburse it another $80m which was allegedly siphoned out of the country by former president Askar Akayev.
