Protests in Kyrgyzstan
On Monday mass protests of those who disagreed with the results of parliamentary elections that took place on October 4 broke out in Kyrgyzstan. After fierce clashes with law enforcement agencies, protesters seized the parliament building, where the presidential administration is also located.
Kubatbek Boronov, Kyrgyzstan's prime minister, resigned. President Sooronbay Jeenbekov, according to his spokesperson, is in Bishkek and "controlling the situation". He has repeatedly called for dialogue with the opposition, but so far there have been no official negotiations.
Leaders of opposition parties have created a coordinating council for governing the country and nominated opposition leader Sadyr Zhaparov as prime minister. In the evening of October 6, the parliament assembled for an emergency session approved his candidature. But some oppositionists disagreed with this appointment. They created their coordination council and intend to elect their prime minister. They also demanded the impeachment of president Jeenbekov and the dissolution of parliament of the country.
