	Profile: Feliks Kulov - RADIO FREE EUROPE / RADIO LIBERTY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Feliks Kulov, former Kyrgyz vice president, Bishkek mayor, and chairman of the opposition party Ar-Namys, was released on 24 March from the Bishkek jail where he had served four years of a combined 17 year sentence on charges of embezzlement and abuse of office.
		Kulov was first arrested on corruption charges in March 2000, even before his unsuccessful presidential bid, but was acquitted in August of that year.
		Kulov pleaded not guilty to those charges, which some observers believe were fabricated precisely because President Akaev had come to regard Kulov as a potential rival.

		Kulov and his supporters say the embezzlement charges are politically motivated and are an attempt by Akaev to silence one of his rivals.
		Kulov -- head of the opposition Ar-Namys Party -- had sought to stand against Akaev in the October 2000 presidential elections but was barred after he refused to submit to a controversial Kyrgyz language test.
		Kulov is already serving a seven-year jail term after being convicted in January 2001 by a closed court of abuse of power during his tenure as head of the National Security Ministry.

		Kulov, one of Kyrgyz President Askar Akaev’s most prominent rivals, is serving a 10-year sentence on charges of abuse of office and financial misconduct that his supporters say were politically motivated.
		Feliks Kulov is a political prisoner and should be released, said Elizabeth Andersen, executive director of the Europe and Central Asia division of Human Rights Watch.
		A court sentenced Kulov to seven years of imprisonment in January 2001; new charges of embezzlement were added in July, and the sentence was increased to ten years.

	EurasiaNet Recaps / Q & A - Kyrgyzstan is Vulnerable to Counter Revolution — Kulov
		Kulov’s candidacy sets up a sectional battle surrounding the looming presidential race, as he is generally viewed as representing northern political and economic interests while Bakiyev is recognized as the candidate of the South.
		Seeking to draw attention to his extensive background in Kyrgyzstan’s security services, Kulov also warned that Islamic radicals, especially the underground group Hizb-ut-Tahrir, were poised to step up their activities in hopes of establishing an Islamic-oriented government in the country.
		Kulov: Indeed, there are people [potential counter-revolutionaries], who already had an opportunity to make business and avoided paying taxes thanks to certain individuals in the government.

		Kulov is a popular politician, one who might have beaten Akaev in the presidential elections in 2000.
		Kulov was released from prison on 24 March, the same day Akaev fled the country, and was soon named to oversee all law enforcement agencies in an effort to control the violence and looting in Bishkek, where the situation seemed very unstable in the absence of any clear authority.
		After Kulovâs sharply worded statement, the old parliament made a decision to resign âto do away with the political crisis in the countryâ and avert the threat of civil war.

		Kulov, former Vice-President, Minister of National Security and mayor of Bishkek, is still in jail and recognized as a political prisoner by international human rights organizations.
		If Kulov is elected president, he would not only enhance economic growth, increase judiciary independence, but also strengthen the power of the Interior and National Security Ministries.
		Like Putin, Kulov would inevitably be surrounded by military bureaucrats and the intelligence community, who might gradually narrow the activity of independent mass media and civil society groups.

	IFN - Re: Feliks Kulov by ILHR
		On January 22, 2001, a military court, which was closed to the public, sentenced Feliks Kulov to seven years of imprisonment, convicting him of abuse of power when he was minister of national security in 1997-1998.
		According to Kyrgyz ombudsman Tursunbai Bakir-Uulu, Kulov was eligible for release as early as August 5, 2004.
		The Sokuluk District Court, however, denied Feliks Kulov parole on August 13, failing to take into account the time Kulov spent incarcerated in the detention center under the auspices of the Ministry of National Security from March 22, 2000 until August 7, 2000; and from January 22, 2001 until July 26, 2001.

		Backed by more than 80 percent of voters, acting president Kurmanbek Bakiyev who led the spring protests is definitely the favourite of this election (he is followed in the polls by Tursunbek Bakir Uulu with a little over 2 percent, while the voter base of the four other candidates is negligible).
		Both Bakiyev (prime minister to 2002) and his chef ally and prime minister candidate Feliks Kulov (KGB general, former vice president who broke with Akayev and was jailed) used to co-operate with the toppled president, and therefore they cannot be regarded as completely new people without any affiliation to the former system.
		The alliance between Bakiyev and Kulov combines the authority that Bakiyev enjoys with the public with Kulov's influence on the security forces.

		But Kulov’s supporters admit they were disappointed that his case was not brought up during a recent visit to Bishkek by Solomon Pasi, the current OSCE chairman.
