		Askar Akayev, Kyrgyzstan’s former president, made a rare public appearance at the Carnegie Moscow Center on February 14, where he delivered a thirty minute speech and took an hour of questions from an assembled audience of about sixty journalists, scholars and policy analysts.
		Avoiding ever mentioning President Kurmanbek Bakiyev by name, Akayev depicted his own ouster as a blow to democracy in Kyrgyzstan, offering analogies to the French “revolutions.” It took a while for the audience to realize that Akayev was talking about France of the mid-twentieth century, not the late eighteenth century.
		Akayev described his government as Kyrgyzstan’s first revolution, and the current government, which he described as much more chaotic and undemocratic than his own, as the second republic, predicting that Kyrgyzstan had no hope of stability until after 2010 when a third and hopefully more democratic and stable third republic would be formed.

	Choosing Autocracy: Politics in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan
		In sum, the political situation in Uzbekistan seems to be largely driven by a process of reaction to real and perceived threats to the regime and the country.
		Indeed, Kyrgyzstan's initial openness and rapid reforms led to descriptions of Kyrgyzstan as "the Switzerland of Central Asia," or the "Island of Democracy," in both the capital of Bishkek and in western capitals.
		Kyrgyzstan faces serious challenges to government from ethnic and nationalist factions, entrenched interests, long-standing tribal and regional divisions, a radical Islamic terrorist organization, and an increasingly bellicose and militarily powerful neighbor.

		Politics in Kyrgyzstan, a nation of stunning mountainous beauty and 5 million people who mainly speak a Turkic language, depends as much on clan ties as on ideology, and the fractious opposition has unified around calls for more democracy, an end to poverty and corruption, and a desire to oust Akayev.

	ISN Security Watch - Kyrgyzstan's chronic complications
		Although with a population of five million people, Kyrgyzstan is the smallest Central Asian state, it is a land replete with complexity and contradiction that result primarily from its recent history of a phase of reform followed by a drift back to authoritarianism.
		Kyrgyzstan's political liberalization and its opening to the outside world have endowed it with a political class of what the Russians call a "modern intelligentsia", yet much of its population exists in pre-modern social networks based on clan and local leadership, and retains traditional attitudes and belief systems.
		Kyrgyzstan's political situation remained as it was before the elections - inconclusive, though perhaps more tense and, at least temporarily, more unstable.

		As late as spring 1990, the republic's political leadership was extolling the virtues of traditional Soviet politics and assuring its constituents in Kyrgyzstan and Moscow that the republic would remain an outpost of ethnic harmony and political unity.
		Politics in Kyrgyzstan bears the imprint of the republic's ethnic diversity and its economic backwardness and dependency.
		The complex ethnic tapestry of Kyrgyzstan is a reminder that each Soviet republic was not a national but a multinational political system.(8) This multinationalism influenced politics within Kyrgyzstan, between Kyrgyzstan and neighbouring republics, and between Kyrgyzstan and Moscow.

	Exit and voice in the near abroad: The Russian minority in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Latvia.
		Russian minority politics in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Latvia are shaped by the interaction of four variables constituting the opportunity structure within which Russians function.
		A nationalizing state's opportunity structure is comprised of formal policies and informal practices that govern ethnic relations; economic conditions; and the degree to which a minority has access to social capital, or sociopolitical networks that facilitate coordinated activity.
		Russian organization is amicable in Kyrgyzstan because the regime is willing to negotiate; fairly contentious in Kazakhstan because the regime is unwilling to alter its mildly antagonistic policies; and quite contentious in Latvia because the regime refuses to modify its exceptionally antagonistic policies.

		In Kyrgyzstan, the political unrest resulting from the rigged parliamentary elections seems to be simmering down.
		Kyrgyzstan is not Ukraine, where the "cappuccino revolution" only came about when the middle classes took to the streets, demanding a government that would boost their wealth rather than siphon it off through bribes.
		Kyrgyzstan remains a country where the police are to be feared, the judicial system is open to abuse and an MP's seat, according to one diplomat, cost $500,000 (£267,000) in bribes at the last election.
