ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF NEW PARLIAMENT BRINGS STABILIZATION TO KYRGYZSTAN
LUXEMBOURG, April 1 (RIA Novosti) – The acknowledgement of the
authorities of the new single-chamber parliament elected on February
27 and March 13 has brought stabilization to Kyrgyzstan, official
spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry told journalists on
arriving in Luxembourg on Friday.
“Efforts taken by acting Kyrgyz leaders to stabilize the situation are
yielding positive results,” Yakovenko said.
According to the diplomat, Russia is contributing to Kyrgyzstan’s
settlement.
“We want the domestic developments to be peaceful and legitimate. We
maintain permanent contacts with parliament, the government and
Foreign Ministry of the republic,” Yakovenko noted. In his words,
Moscow hails Bishkek’s readiness to stick to international
obligations, particularly, connected with the country’s membership in
the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO: Belarus, Russia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia) and Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, China
and Tajikistan).
“Russia supports the OSCE efforts aimed at the restoration of
legitimacy in Kyrgyzstan on the basis of the Constitution,” Alexander
Yakovenko stressed.
