During a telephone conversation, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov on the successful holding of parliamentary elections in the country. This was announced on Friday, December 3, in the Kremlin.
“Both sides reaffirmed their disposition to further strengthen relations of alliance and strategic partnership between Russia and Kyrgyzstan, as well as close interaction within the framework of integration associations in the Eurasian space,” the Kremlin added.
Parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan were held on November 28. According to preliminary data, six parties are included in the parliament: Ata-Zhurt Kyrgyzstan, Ishenim, Yntymak, Yyman Nuru, Alliance and Butun Kyrgyzstan. The turnout was about 35%, and the manual counting of votes is ongoing.
On election day, Japarov turned to politicians, urging them to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections in the republic. He also stressed that the elections were fair and transparent.
On November 29, an observer of the CIS mission, Vasily Volkov, said that the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan were held in accordance with the constitution of the republic, as well as with the principles of “freedom and transparency.” At the same time, experts interviewed by Izvestia predicted another wave of protests after the elections.
On the same day, a rally of five opposition parties took place in the capital of Kyrgyzstan, which do not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections. According to an Izvestia correspondent from the scene in Bishkek, about 150 people took part in the rally.
