Σύμφωνα με τα όσα αναφέρει το Ria Novosti, η απόφαση -που υποστηρίζεται από 78 βουλευτές του Κοινοβουλίου σε σύνολο 120 εδρών- δίνει στη Μόσχα τον πλήρη έλεγχο του τομέα φυσικού αερίου του Κιργιστάν σε αντάλλαγμα την εγγυημένη προμήθεια καυσίμων και την αναβάθμιση του δικτύου του.
Συγκεκριμένα, η Gazprom έχει δεσμευτεί να επενδύσει 20 δισ. ρούβλια (610 εκατ. δολ.) σε ορίζοντα 5ετίας για τον εκσυγχρονισμό των υποδομών φυσικού αερίου της χώρας, ενώ θα αναλάβει και το χρέος 40 εκατ. δολ. της κρατικής Kyrgyzgaz.
Σύμφωνα με το ρωσικό κολλοσό, η εταιρεία θα αναλάβει τον πλήρη έλεγχο του φυσικού αερίου του Κιργιστάν, υπό την προϋπόθεση όμως να μεταφέρει καύσιμα χρησιμοποιώντας τους αγωγούς της Kyrgyzgaz.
Τέλος, η κυβέρνηση της χώρας θα έχει δικαίωμα να εξαγοράσει τα περιουσιακά στοιχεία της Kyrgyzgaz σε ορίζοντας 25ετίας.

- Russia’s Gazprom Takes Over Gas Monopoly in Kyrgyzstan for $1
BISHKEK, December 11 (RIA Novosti) – The former Soviet republic of
Kyrgyzstan has approved a deal to sell the country’s debt-ridden natural
gas monopoly to Russia’s state energy company Gazprom for $1.
The decision, backed by 78 deputies in the 120-seat parliament, hands Moscow control over a strategic asset in the Central Asian state in exchange for a guaranteed supply of fuel.
Under the agreement, Gazprom will gain control over pipelines, gas distribution stations and underground storage facilities owned by Kyrgyzgaz.
Gazprom has committed to invest 20 billion rubles ($610 million) in modernizing the Kyrgyz company’s infrastructure over the next five years.
It will also take over more than $40 million in debt. Kyrgzystan has suffered increasing difficulties in maintaining gas supplies because of rising debts to neighboring Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
The deal gives Gazprom full control over Kyrgyzstan’s gas sector. But a proviso in the agreement means that the Russian company can only transport its fuel using pipelines belonging to Kyrgyzgaz.
The Kyrgyz government will be permitted to engage independently in gas transportation or support investors in that field at a later date. It will also have a right to buy back the Kyrgyzgaz assets in 25 years.
Kyrgyzstan has been racked by political upheavals in the past decade and two presidents have been overthrown by popular revolts in the impoverished republic.
The strategically important nation, which borders China, hosts both a Russian and an US military base. The Kyrgyz parliament last month told the US military to vacate its air base by next July.
Russia recently agreed a 15-year extension to the lease on its military base as part of a package of measures that included writing off $500 million of Kyrgyz debt.
