KYRGYZSTAN APPARENTLY ACCEPTS LOSS OF ANTITERRORISM CENTER
Kyrgyzstan has apparently accepted Tashkent as the site of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization's (SCO) Regional Antiterrorism Structure, according
to a report by the official news agency kabar.kg of 2 September. As the
report notes, SCO member states agreed earlier this year that the
antiterrorism center would be located in Bishkek, and the Kyrgyz authorities
had already selected a building to house it. As late as 12 August, Kyrgyz
officials were denying Uzbek assertions that the center would definitely be
located in Tashkent (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 13 August 2003). The Kyrgyz
acceptance removes a possible area of contention between Kyrgyzstan and
Uzbekistan at the 4-5 September meeting of SCO national coordinators, during
which the antiterrorism center is to be inaugurated. BB
