KYRGYZ FOREIGN MINISTER HOPES IRAQ WAR WILL NOT HINDER ANTITERRORISM CAMPAIGN IN AFGHANISTAN
Askar Aitmatov said on 8 April he hopes the war in Iraq will not lead to an upsurge of extremism and terrorism in Central Asia or hamper the progress of the antiterrorism campaign in Afghanistan, Interfax reported. Noting that Kyrgyzstan did not support the decision to use military force against Iraq, Aitmatov was quoted as saying it is important that the international community's trust in the UN and the UN Security Council be restored, because they are the highest international institutions for ensuring peace and security. He added that Kyrgyzstan will remain a reliable partner in the fight against terrorism. Aitmatov also said that Kyrgyzstan is considering giving its consent to a U.S. demand that its troops be given immunity before the International Criminal Court, akipress.org reported on 8 April. BB
