Akayev Wants to Live in Turkey
 While it is expected that the former President Aksar Akayev, whose regime was toppled in Krygyztan last month through "tulip revolution", will officially resign today, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul has issued a statement that the ousted leader wants to live in Turkey. Gul at the Kizilcahamam Camp attended by members of the ruling party Justice and Development (AKP) over the stability and confidence atmosphere of Turkey announced Akayev's wishes. It was learned during the last day of the Camp that Minister Gul confirmed that information relating to him had already reached them. There was also speculation that Akayev had already applied to settling in Turkey. On the other hand, the Russian Interfax agent announced that Akayev will resign today. Akayev said in a statement issued following talks that lasted two and a half hours with Krygz Parliamentary Speaker Omurbek Tekebayev at the embassy in Moscow, that they have already prepared a "resignation protocol". Akayev has also indicated that a ceremony will be held for his resignation from the presidency.
