Credit: Reuters/Shamil Zhumatov BISHKEK/OSH (Reuters) - Kyrgyzstan has voted to create Central Asia's first parliamentary democracy, results showed on Monday, but Russia warned this could allow extremists to seize power following a wave of ethnic violence. World | Russia Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, whose country shares U.S. fears about Islamist militancy in Central Asia, said the political system resulting from Sunday's Kyrgyz referendum could eventually bring the collapse of the country. At least 294 people, and possibly hundreds more, were killed this month in violence between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks in southern Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet republic which hosts U.S. and Russian military air bases and shares a border with China. Official results of Sunday's referendum showed that with almost all votes counted, 90.7 percent of voters backed a new constitution paving the way for October parliamentary elections. Only 8.0 percent had voted against, according to preliminary data collected from 96.5 percent of the country's 2,319 polling stations, the Central Election Commission said on its website, www.shailoo.gov.kg. Voter turnout was around 65 percent. Interim leader Roza Otunbayeva, speaking on Sunday night before the first results were known, said Kyrgyzstan -- which lies on a major drug trafficking route out of Afghanistan -- had embarked on a path to establishing a "true people's democracy." The United States and Russia say they would support a strong government to prevent the turmoil spreading throughout Central Asia, a region bordering Afghanistan in which all countries have until now been run by authoritarian presidents. "We hope that this is an effective step toward stable, democratic governance. We welcome the calm orderly process, but await final polling results," a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Sunday as the first results came in. MEDVEDEV SCEPTICAL But Russia's Medvedev, speaking after a Group of 20 summit in Toronto, said Kyrgyz authorities could not impose order even at present. "I do not really understand how a parliamentary republic would look and work in Kyrgyzstan," he said. "Will this not lead to a chain of eternal problems -- to reshuffles in parliament, to the rise to power of this or that political group, to authority being passed constantly from one hand to another, and, finally, will this not help those with extremist views to power?" he said. "In its current state, there are a host of scenarios for Kyrgyzstan, including the most unpleasant scenario -- going up to the collapse of the state," Medvedev said. His remarks contrasted strongly with the immediate support shown by the Kremlin for Kyrgyzstan's new government after an April 7 uprising that overthrew President Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Keneshbek Dushebayev, head of Kyrgyzstan's National Security Service, has said extremists could have played a role in this month's violence and that the country was a weak link that could be exploited by terrorist groups. Security analysts say violence is unlikely to hand gains to militant Islamists as authorities are on alert. This opinion was echoed by a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, or Party of Liberation, a movement that says it uses only peaceful methods to achieve its goal of establishing a worldwide caliphate -- a theocratic Muslim state. "We are not planning to use this chaos to increase our influence," said Abdullah, a tire salesman and senior Hizb ut-Tahrir member in Osh, epicenter of this month's violence. "This can only backfire because then we would be accused of orchestrating all of this, and that would lead to more bloodshed," he said. He declined to give his second name. Under the new charter, Otunbayeva -- the first woman to lead a Central Asian state -- will be acting president until the end of 2011. Parliamentary elections will be held every five years and the president limited to a single six-year term. A former ambassador to the United States and Britain, Otunbayeva has struggled to gain control of the south -- Bakiyev's family stronghold -- even though she was born in Osh. With violence still a threat, she extended a curfew in Osh and Jalalabad until August 10 and said she would support the arrival of an OSCE police contingent to help maintain stability. The 56-nation Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) declined to send observers to Osh due to security concerns. But an official for the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly has backed an international police presence. Military helicopters flew low over the city on Monday and gunfire was heard overnight, despite the curfew. A United Nations humanitarian cargo plane landed at the heavily guarded airport, bringing fleece blankets and other aid to residents.
