Kazakstan is extremely important to northern Kyrgyzstan.[1] The virtual closure of Manas Airport at Bishkek makes Kazakstan's capital, Almaty, the principal point of entry to Kyrgyzstan.[1] The northwestern city of Talas receives nearly all of its services through the city of Dzhambyl, across the border in Kazakstan.[1] Although Kazakstan's president Nursultan Nazarbayev has cooperated in economic agreements, in May 1993 Kyrgyzstan's introduction of the som caused Nazarbayev to close his country's border with Kyrgyzstan to avoid a flood of worthless Kyrgyzstani rubles.[1]
