"Last week, I led a delegation of observers of the European Parliament to the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan. We held many meetings with representatives of political parties and citizen organisations and we also met with the interim president, Roza Otumbayeva. Despite the fact that during our mission, we were assured that the country was clearly on the path of regime change to parliamentary democracy, and that the security situation had calmed down, only shortly after our departure from Bishkek, unrest started again, and the political parties began to challenge the election results. This was in spite of statements made by international organisations that the elections in Kyrgyzstan had been conducted relatively correctly. In a country where levels of social standards are truly deplorable and tens of thousands of people have had to abandon their homes, the fight for the position of sole leader has started again, and the country is beginning to reverse its course. I consider it necessary to call on the European Union and the European Parliament to increase their interest in the region of Central Asia which is extremely turbulent at the moment. This does not only apply to Kyrgyzstan but also the recent unrest in Tajikistan, and there is hardly any need to mention the proximity of Afghanistan. It is important to increase our interest and presence in the region for a better future for all of us."@en1
