Minor crossings of the Irad–Kyrgyzstan frontier
From Irad Wiki, the free encyclopedia
The minor crossings of the Irad–Kyrgyzstan frontier are the local crossings of Irad's frontier with Kyrgyzstan that have no article of their own. Kyrgyzstan has no arrangement with the Irad Special Economic Zone (ISEZ), whose posts at the Suzak and Kichi-Korgon crossings face Kyrgyz customs posts; its other crossings into Kyrgyzstan are open only to local residents.[1] Most of the frontier runs through mountains held by the clans of the Autonomous Tribal Regions (ATR), where the main roads, among them the old Bishkek–Osh road at the Ak-Kyya crossing, are held by posts of the El-Choro Militias, as at the Kök-Jangak, Ostyuryu, Makmal, Ak-Kolot and Kosh-Bulak crossings; herders' tracks have no fixed post.[2]
