Europe asks Akayev to resign

BISHKEK (KYRGYZSTAN), MARCH 31. The head of a key European security organisation called on the ousted Kyrgyz President, Askar Akayev, to resign and urged the Central Asian nation's new leadership to avoid dangerous infighting before a new election.

The current chief of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe said Mr. Akayev should cooperate with efforts to secure his resignation and that the ``cooperation should be effective and as short as possible,'' in order to ease persistent uncertainty in Kyrgyzstan.

In the third visit by a high-level OSCE official to Kyrgyzstan since the upheaval that led Mr. Akayev to flee to Russia, the current chairman Dmitrij Rupel said the 55-nation organisation backs the new Parliament's effort to hold talks to win Mr. Akayev's resignation.

``The OSCE supports negotiations; excluding President Akayev from this volatile period would be dangerous,'' he said. — AP
