Kyrgyzstan says no to US spy jets

BEIJING, Mar. 5 -- Kyrgyzstan has reiterated its refusal to deploying U.S spy jets in its territory.

Kyrgyzstan Foreign Ministry released a statement Friday, saying that the country won't consider US's request to dispose AWACS long-distance spy jet in the middle Asian country.

In the statement, the official said the US's proposal has gone beyond peacekeeping and humanitarianism tasks of the International Counter-Terror Coalition in Afghanistan.

As a member of Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Kyrgyzstan doesn't think the deployment of U.S spy jets will be committed to the duty in the organization.

Earlier, the U.S. and NATO proposed to station spy jets near Bishkek. But Kyrgystan government publicly turned down the plan.

I saw this last week or the week before and saw a double standard. We can't fly AWACS while Russia is gearing up.

Pretty funny that most people don't know that both the US and Russia have bases in the same country. This could get interesting
