Kyrgyzstan tells US to close Manas Base http://www.presstv.ir/detail/207824.html "Our country will honor all its international agreements, but we have warned the US embassy that they will have to close the base in 2014," The Manas Air Force Base, which the US currently uses for support operations in Afghanistan's ten-year war, is located at a civilian airport on the outskirts of the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek. "Our airport is a civilian one and it must be engaged in civilian activities. It brings bad associations when you land at an airfield and there are military aircraft on it," Atambayev said.
