Kyrgyzstan's interim govt approves Turkey's military deal

Kyrgyzstan's interim government approved on Friday a 2009 deal signed with Turkey to get military aid from Turkish Armed Forces.

Kyrgyz Defense Minister Ismail Isakov said that Kyrgyz government unanimously approved the agreement signed in December 2009. Turkey's military aid is worth 800,000 U.S. dollars.

Turkey's military aid will go to Kyrgyz national guards and border units.

After an uprising in Bishkek last month, Kyrgyzstan's president Kurmanbek Bakiyev was ousted. The interim government has the right to ratify intergovernmental agreements until the parliamentary elections in the country.
