On the night of 6 October, after the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan, representatives of parties that did not pass to the supreme legislative body, organized mass unrest in Bishkek. For six hours there were clashes between the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the protesters, who eventually seized the buildings of Parliament, Government, Presidential Administration, Prosecutor General’s Office and City Hall. Several structures were created with the participation of the opposition, which declared themselves temporary authorities and appointed their prime ministers. Dozens of enterprises, fields and other business facilities were taken over by unknown persons. Kyrgyz President Sooronbai Zheenbekov has repeatedly called on all political forces to return to the legal field. On Friday he signed a decree on the resignation of the government, but all members of the former cabinet, except for the Prime Minister, will remain in office until a new cabinet is appointed.
