According to Moldogaziev, "such letter has been really sent by Hamid Karzai to Kurmanbek Bakiev."

Aibek Moldogaziev confirmed the data that Hamid Karazai has asked Kyrgyz president to consider possible prolongation of term of Manas airbase usage by the antiterrorist coalition in the republic.

As to Moldogaziev, "it is possible that the issue will be discussed by two presidents when being on SCO summit in Yekaterinburg."
