Problem of Kyrgyz enclave in Uzbekistan solved<br/>
<br/>
During a session of the intergovernmental committee on delimitation <br/>
of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border in Taškent, a protocol was signed on the <br/>
execution of the intergovernmental agreement of July 2, 2000, <br/>
ensuring free travel to Kyrgyztan for the inhabitants of the enclave <br/>
Barak, situated in Uzbek territory. This was reported March 13 to <br/>
Radio &quot;Azattyk&quot; by the representative of Kyrgyzstan to the Eurasian <br/>
economic community Bazarbaj Mambetov, who is heading the Kyrgyz <br/>
delegation. According to him, the Uzbek authorities have already, in <br/>
compliance with the protocol, ordered the local authorities in the <br/>
border area to open up the road to the enclave.<br/>
Uzbekistan closed the road to the Kyrgyz village Barak in January <br/>
2002, and in January 2003 it dismantled the bridge over the river <br/>
Šachrichansaj in Kara-Suu rayon, on the boundary of the two <br/>
countries. Bazarbaj Mambetov also said that the participants of the <br/>
Taškent meeting will today finish a draft agreement on the <br/>
establishment of joint boundary crossing points. The talks will end <br/>
on friday.<br/>
