Kyrgyz interim government asks Interpol to arrest Kurmanbek Bakiyev

Kyrgyz ousted president Kurmanbek Bakiyev will be wanted by Interpol after the request from the interim government, Kyrgyz interim deputy PM Azimbek Beknazarov said in a statement. The Russian news agency Itar-Tass reminds that earlier Bakiyev's several relatives, including his younger son Maxim, were wanted by the interim government through Interpol.

Former president Kurmanbek Bakiyev has been in Minsk under protection of the Belarusian leader, Alexander Lukashenka. The new authorities in Bishkek sent an extradition request to Minsk, but the Belarusian government has not responded yet.
