Azerbaijan, Baku, April 26 / Trend V. Javoronkova /
It is too early to definitely speak about foreign policy, which will adhere to the new government of Kyrgyzstan, however, most likely it will be the principle of multivector, experts say.
"The course, which was pursued during Askar Akayev, Kurmanbek Bakiyev's government - the course of even cooperation with key foreign policy partners will be preserved," Nur Omarov, expert on the Central Asian countries told Trend over phone.
After mass protests in Kyrgyzstan in early April the government was dismissed and the opposition seized the power. This is the second overthrow of the government after independence. Official President Kurmanbek Bakiyev came to power as a result of revolution five years ago. Now the country is controlled by the so-called interim government, formed of representatives of the opposition headed by Rosa Otunbayeva.
Supposedly, the elections in Kyrgyzstan will be held after six months.
The press and public are actively debating on the topic that what course Kyrgyzstan next government will follow. However, according to experts, it is too early to talk about it.
Head of the department of Central Asia and Kazakhstan at the Institute of the CIS Countries in Moscow Andrei Grozin said: "America will try to maintain its previous position, trying to limit Russia's influence ... Regardless of what can be said about the new relationship between Washington and Moscow, I think that too many officials in Russia and the U.S. assess the situation in Central Asia as a continuation of certain options in a big geopolitical game."
He said that it is too early to say whether Kyrgyz new leadership will be pro-Russian or pro-American, because elite will regroup after two or three months even under the most favorable developments, "Asia Times" reported.
According to 'Heritage' Foundation leading expert on Russia, Eurasia, and international energy policy Ariel Cohen, the situation in Kyrgyzstan remains extremely volatile and unpredictable.
"Apparently, in the nearest future, all political and constitutional system of Kyrgyzstan will change. It is difficult to predict who will head the new government in autumn, but it is clear that we will witness the struggle for power in Kyrgyzstan," Cohen told Trend over phone from Washington.
Anti-U.S forces, supported by Moscow are likely to come to power, expert said.
Location of U.S transit center Manas in Kyrgyzstan remains open.
Manas's activity will continue. No fundamental changes will be made in its activity, doctor of historical sciences Omarov said.
Cohen said that Washington is not concerned about the possible closure of Manas airbase by the Kyrgyz government.
The United States received assurances from the new Kyrgyz authority that airbase Manas will remain in the country, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, Ekho Moskvy reported.
"Today, we see no problems with access to the airbase," she said.
She said that the issue was discussed with Moscow, where Washington also found mutual understanding.
Secretary of State recalled that Russia allowed transportation of troops through its air space to Afghanistan. "It would be senseless if they gave us the opportunity to cross their own country and at the same time did not support the right of the United States to have access to the Manas base," Clinton commented on the situation.
"I hope that a faraway country in Central Asia will not give any unpleasant surprises to Secretary of State Clinton, as it happened with the Obama administration, which took the deposed president's son - Maxim Bakiev on the day of a bloody coup in Bishkek. It is good that Secretary of State Clinton drew attention to the future of the base important for the U.S.," Cohen said.
