“I can swear on Quran, Russia is not interested in the undermining situation in Kyrgyzstan”, the Secretary General of CSTO Nikolay Bordyuzha stated on the meeting with students of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.   

 

On question about interfering of Joint rapid reaction forces of CSTO in cases of instable situations as it is in Kyrgyzstan he answered “Our organization has appropriate power potential (JRRF, peaceful forces of CSTO) to use. The question is in evaluation of the situation. If there is an external threat then it will be possible. But this is unnecessary in the case with Kyrgyzstan. We have detailed information, we met with key forces both public and shadow persons. We have prepared some recommendations for presidents but the force interferences are inadmissible as it is inner case of Kyrgyz people. We are not gendarmes”.

 

The Secretary General of CSTO noted that by their data “there were no external players within Kyrgyz events”.

 

“Everything occurred is caused by inner reasons. Politics of authorities caused social outburst ended by the changing of leaders. The external influence is excluded”, Nikolay Bordyuzha emphasized.

 

“I can swear on Quran, Russia is not interested in the undermining situation in Kyrgyzstan. Finally, where delegation of the interim government of Kyrgyzstan went? To Moscow. Consequently we are first who helped and we will assist in smoothing situation over. Concerning “Russian trace” in these events there is no any signs of that. I know who seized the presidential palace, depots, TV center but opposition didn’t expect such course of events. Opposition doesn’t have any plans to do that. Yes, Russia and Kyrgyzstan had contradictions concerning loan as it wasn’t used effectively. But this doesn’t mean we have to throw down this power”, the Secretary General said to students of SIIR.
