KYRGYZ PARLIAMENT DELAYS RATIFICATION OF KAZAKH COOPERATION TREATY
By empty (12/8/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Deputies in Kyrgyzstan\'s Legislative Assembly (lower chamber of parliament) decided on 7 December that an agreement on relations with Kazakhstan signed in December 2003 requires amendment before it can be ratified, RFE/RL\'s Kyrgyz Service reported. Deputy Ishenbai Kadyrbekov said that the agreement, which Kazakhstan has already ratified, fails to take into account Kyrgyzstan\'s interests on issues of labor migration, transit for Kyrgyz passengers, and goods through Kazakhstan, and joint use of water resources.
