Kazakhstan may allow limited use of airfields 


Associated Press


ALMATY, Kazakhstan � Kazakhstan and the United States
are holding talks on the anti-terrorist coalition�s
possible use of an airfield in the Central Asian
nation for emergency refueling.
�We highly appreciate Kazakhstan�s constructive
approach,� U.S. Ambassador Larry Napper told The
Associated Press. �We are grateful to Kazakhstan for
its friendly, active assistance to the international
action against terror.�

Kazakh Prime Minister Kasymzhomart Tokayev disclosed
to Kazakh reporters that the country might offer a
refueling stop, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.

According to the Interfax news agency, Tokayev said
that �for military purposes a reserve airfield is
necessary for emergencies, such as refueling in
emergency circumstances.�

U.S. and other forces are already deployed in the
former Soviet republics of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan
to support the anti-terrorist coalition in
Afghanistan. Military experts have also explored
possible airfields for deployment in Tajikistan, which
borders on Afghanistan.

Coalition aircraft currently have the right to fly
through Kazakh territory.
