Kyrgyzstan’s interim leader Otunbayeva arrives in Osh
Kyrgyzstan’s interim leader Roza Otunbayeva has arrived in Osh in the south of the country after deadly ethnic violence between Kyrgyz and Uzbek groups that resulted in hundreds of deaths.
"I came here to see, to speak with the people and hear first hand what happened here. We will do everything to rebuild this city,” Otunbayeva said in the main square of Osh where the helicopter landed and where is placed the building of the regional administration.
It’s expected that Otunbayeva will meet local leaders and visit hospitals during her trip. She is also scheduled to visit territories adjoining to Uzbekistan where thousands of ethnic Uzbeks have gathered seeking to run from Kyrgyzstan after ethnic violence occurred here.
