ST. PETERSBURG (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th January, 2019) A Russian military base may appear in the Central African Republic, the framework agreement envisions such a possibility, but the issue has not been discussed so far, car Defense Minister Marie-Noelle Koyara said in an interview with Sputnik.
"We have not yet spoken about the specific development of the base, but such a possibility is not ruled out in the framework agreement that has already been concluded between our countries. If the presidents, as supreme commanders-in-chief, as leaders of the nation, make the decision to deploy the base, it means our countries will agree on that, and we, as ministers, will be implementing it," Koyara said.
She said an army training center had been established in the CAR's Berengo jointly with Russia. She said it could not be considered a Russian military base, but added that people had already begun to perceive it that way.
