Kyrgyz leader snubs opposition call for resignation
Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev on Tuesday rejected opposition demands to step down, saying such calls threaten stability in the ex-Soviet republic. Former Prime Minister Felix Kulov on Monday accused his former revolutionary ally Bakiyev of usurping power in the impoverished Central Asian nation, and urged him to resign before his current term ends in 2010. Making such noisy statements which have nothing in common with the real state of things, such politicians do not realise ... that they deal a blow to the political future of our entire nation, Bakiyevs office said in a statement.
