Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 31 /Trend, A.Badalova/
Kyrgyzstan should conduct a multivector foreign policy after change in the state power, Kyrgyz expert Orozbek Moldaliyev believes.
The country's acting Prime Minister Atambayev gained 50 percent of votes in a presidential race with participation of 16 candidates. According to the constitutional law, to take a victory at the elections a candidate is to gain more than 50 percent of the votes.
According to Moldaliyev, although Atambayev is characterized as a pro-Russian politician, a multivector foreign policy will be more appropriate in the current globalizations conditions.
"In the contemporary world both great powers and small countries pursue multivector policy by force of the globalization conditions," Moldaliyev told Trend on Monday. "The unidirectional is yet to be shaped in the globe."
"Atambayev's coming to power will finalize the transition stage of the reforms, which started after the last year's April revolution," Moldaliyev said.
According to the Kyrgyzstan's constitution, the president of the country is an arbiter between legislature and executive power. "This is a very sound mechanism, as the president balances these two powers," he believes.
"The mechanism has been commenced and it will be gradually become optimal," Moldaliyev said.
With regard to the Manas Transit Center, Moldaliyev said the agreement between Kyrgyzstan and the United States on this facility is in force until 2014.
"By that time the U.S. will withdraw its armed forces from Afghanistan, and the transit center in Kyrgyzstan will be less important," Moldaliyev said.
To this end he noted Uzbekistan's readiness to offer its territory and military bases for the U.S.
Anyway, the decision on this Transit Center will further proceed from the interests of Kyrgyzstan's people.
Transit Center in Manas is NATO facility at Manas International Airport near Bishkek primarily operated by the U.S. Air Force. The base was opened in December 2001 to support U.S. military operations in the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
