Kyrgyzstan President Will Step Down...
...if granted "relevant" legal protections, such as, I guess, not getting Ceausescu'd:
During an interview with Russia's state-run Channel One television, Akayev was asked whether he was prepared to step down early.
"Of course, of course," he said. "If I am given the relevant guarantees and if it is in full accordance with the current legislation of Kyrgyzstan."
The statement contrasted sharply with comments Akayev made earlier in the day. In an interview on Moscow's Ekho Moskvy radio, Akayev confirmed he was in Russia, outside Moscow, and said he was not planning to resign.
...
There was no immediate explanation for the differing statements.
Kyrgyzstan is really letting us down on the Protest Babes, so I've drafted Kim Richards to help out the cause.
"The people of Kyrg... Krig... Kirk... the people of this country I never heard of before demand to be free! PS, until the President steps down and fresh elections are held, I will protest by not wearing panties."
