 Kyrgyz leader asks Russia for help to quell violence
 
 
 
 
 
 
BISHKEK (AFP) - – Kyrgyzstan's interim leader Roza Otunbayeva on Saturday appealed to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to send military forces to help quell ethnic violence roiling the south of the country.
 
She said the violence in southern Kyrgyzstan had spiralled "out of control" after over 50 people have been killed in the ongoing clashes.
 
"I have signed a letter asking Dmitry Medvedev for third-party forces to be sent to the Kyrgyz Republic," Otunbayeva said in a nationally televised address.
 
"Since yesterday the situation has gotten out of control. We need outside military forces to halt the situation. For this reason we have appealed to Russia for help," she said.
 
At least fifty-one people have died and more than 600 have been wounded during clashes between ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz in the south of the strategically-vital Central Asian state.
