Phillis - My issue is more to do with the validity of some of the news items released through AKIpress rather than with AKIpress themselves. For example:
Jerooy will be put out to tender in the next few weeks - didn't happen
Jerooy licence was to be handed to Barrick - flatly denied by Barrick
Oxus appeal through international arbitration - discounted as a rumour by Oxus
I take many AKIpress news releases with a pinch of salt because they appear to be an attempt by the author (not AKIpress) to exploit the situation in favour of the Kyrgyz government.
