found some interestin thing in this article ,this news was on navbharat also,
Tajikistan was in a military meek
After the visit of Dmitry Medvedev, the 201st Russian military base will remain there for another half century
esterday in Dushanbe, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev spoke thoroughly with the Afghan, Pakistani and Tajik presidents. And with the last of them agreed that the Russian 201st military base in Tajikistan will remain for half a century. In return, Russia will train Tajik army for free and put her arms free. Another goal of Russia - Aini military airfield, which is found special correspondent "b" Vladimir Solovyov, Moscow wants to have for free.
Presidents of Russia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, who arrived in Tajikistan on the quadrilateral summit, greeted festively decorated Dushanbe. Decorated it, of course, portraits Rahmon on the background field. The field was poppy and bright red tie, the Tajik leader is well matched with the flourishing lush color material for opiates. About Drug and just went yesterday, among other things discussed at the meeting, Dmitry Medvedev, Rahmon, the Pakistani leader Asif Ali Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
It was assumed that the talks will be closed. But this one seems to know that the Tajik art. In the end, through the clatter of the headphones sitting in the adjoining room of journalists from time to time broke through the phrase:
- After the assassination of bin Laden did not become easier.
- Enough to sit and talk! Let's do something!
- We have no capacity to deal with them all at once!
Since it was the voice of an interpreter to find out who and what he said was impossible. But it turned out that the final joint statement the leaders of the four foreign ministers agreed at the last minute just to the knee. Knee belonged to the Russian minister, Sergei Lavrov, insisted that the paragraph on the need to eliminate terrorism, extremism and cross-border crimes have been claimed by Moscow patronized such structures as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Acted against Afghanistan. But in the end agreed with the Russian proposal and it is.
- It was important to mention in documents of the SCO and the CSTO, as we believe that the deal with the problems of the region have yet to regional organizations, - explained the Russian diplomatic source persistence "b" .- And Afghanistan was against it, because the United States - against.
While mentioning the CSTO and the SCO itself means nothing, Russian diplomats had been nice and this little thing.
The most interesting finale turned out in bilateral negotiations, Messrs. Medvedev and Rakhmon. Appearing before the press, they announced the decision of problems of Russia's 201st military base in Tajikistan.
- We agreed to instruct our offices to the first quarter of next year to sign a new agreement (on the presence of Russian troops in Tajikistan .- "Huh"), Future-oriented, for 49 years - said Dmitry Medvedev .- Such relations must always be well developed and at the same time must reflect a balance of interests between our two countries.
If an agreement of which the Russian leader said, will be signed at the 201st base end troubles that arose in recent years. Dushanbe has repeatedly tried to renegotiate her time to collect from Russia rents in the $ 307 million per year ($ 57 million - for the lease of real property and $ 250 million - for land). This complicated relationship between the two countries, as Moscow did not want to pay. However, doing so is it still necessary. A source in the Defense Ministry, in exchange for extending its military presence in Tajikistan in half a century, the Russian side will train and provide the Tajik army weapons and equipment to make it combat ready. Dushanbe is a very handy, given the almost hostile relations with neighboring Tashkent. Weapons and their volumes estimated delivery will be determined when the parties will prepare the agreement.
Military Moscow's plans for Tajikistan are not limited to the 201 st base. Russia is trying to get more and Aini military airfield, located near Dushanbe (see reference). Built in Soviet times, he was restored to Indian specialists. As far back as reached an agreement in 2004, Russian pilots, equipment and aircraft to be transferred there from the civilian airport of Dushanbe. But this did not happen. As a result five Su-25, which the Tajik authorities were to ban training flights, flown to the base of Kant in Kyrgyzstan.
Aini airfield is interesting not only because Russia, that Moscow and Dushanbe, there is an agreement under which the Russian military board should be serviced free of military airfields in Tajikistan. Sources of "b" in the Russian Foreign Ministry does not hide the fact that Aini should "stake for a while there did not appear anyone else." The more that is not far off the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Dushanbe same question to solve is in no hurry, trying to negotiate favorable terms. Rahmon, as reported by "Kommersant" one of the Russian negotiators prepared to give Aini - but for a fee of $ 300 million a year.
- It can be seen, really like number 300, - the diplomat said .- But we are not going to pay. Our position is that the board will be the country's security. The corresponding agreement we have already passed Dushanbe.
Another informed source "b" suggested that a decision on the Ayni would be found in the following year, when Tajikistan, Russia and India to determine the status of this facility and develop a plan to share. However, in this case a purely Russian Aini will be gone.
Located in Tajikistan, a few kilometers southwest of Dushanbe. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union at the airfield repair plant located on its runway (runway). Since 1994, there was based Russian 41st Independent Helicopter Squadron (1999 - 303 th). During the civil war in Tajikistan and further the fight against gangs to enforce the airmen of the Russian 201st Motorized Rifle Division (later the military base). Location of aircraft at Ayni was determined by an appropriate agreement between Russia and Tajikistan. However, at some point, she still had to leave the airport. In 2003, started its modernization forces of India, invest in the project about $ 70 million In particular, the Indians have lengthened the runway to 3.2 thousand m, built several hangars and control center. According to media reports, there were 150 Indian soldiers. In 2005, then-Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said on the feasibility of Aini joint Russian-Indian military bases and the possible deployment of fighter aircraft the Indian Air Force there. But then this idea was abandoned. Interest to the airport showed the United States and NATO.
In August 2008, Russia and Tajikistan signed an agreement to expand military and military-technical cooperation, implying the use of Aini in the interests of the Russian Air Force. Moscow has undertaken to complete the modernization of the airport, the transfer of weapons Tajikistan 201st military base, and along with the return of a construction project in the Republic of Rogun.
Officially, the airport Aini (Hissar) was put into operation after the upgrade in September 2010. Russia plans to put here 6976-th air base (second class), 6 Su-25 attack helicopters and 12 Mi-24 and Mi-8.
