Yurt-Land Security?

Filed under: Kyrgyzstan - Administrator @ 8:38 am

Apparently, Kyrgyzstan is offering yurts at $10k a pop to Hurricane Katrina victims:

“After Katrina, people really need some temporary houses,” explained the Kyrgyz Embassy’s Saltanat Tashmatova, at the front door of the yurt. A brochure says the 14-foot-high structure, made from sheep’s wool and “cool in summer,” sells for $10,000 — but the floor model can be had for $7,000. Any sales yet? “We just started,” Tashmatova said with a shrug.

After the Manas debacle (is this true?), is this Bakiev’s latest get-rich-quick scheme?
