Australia is considering striking a deal to send up to 1,500 unwanted refugees to Kyrgyzstan, it has been reported.
The unconfirmed report in The Australian newspaper Saturday claims that Kyrgyzstan is on a list of potential destinations for refugees presently held at processing centers on the islands of Nauru and Manus in the South Pacific.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann told local broadcaster Sky News on Saturday that he could not confirm or deny the claims.
