Deputies interested in situation around disputed area near Ungar-Too mountain

The Parliament of Kyrgyzstan continues to discuss the ratification of the agreement with Uzbekistan on the security of air traffic.

Deputy Kenzhebek Bokoev asked about the situation around Ungar-Too mountain near the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border. He recalled that the radio relay station is located in the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the area itself is controversial. Minister of Transport and Roads Zhamshitbek Kalilov noted that this issue is among those that have not yet been resolved.

Recall, in early autumn, it was reported that 85 percent of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border were demarcated. The agreement on demarcation and delimitation of borders with Uzbekistan was signed during the visit of Almazbek Atambayev to Tashkent. Then it was said that Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan had decided on the joint use of another disputable area— Orto-Tokoy (Kasansai) reservoir in Ala-Buka district of Jalal-Abad region.
