New coalition to be formed in Kyrgyzistan
Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambaev has given the Social Democratic Party that he formerly led the mandate to start negotiations on forming a new ruling coalition following last week's collapse of the government, Radio Free Europe reports.
Under the law, the Social Democrats will have 15 working days to attempt to form the new coalition.
The coalition collapsed last week after two parties -- Ar-Namys (Dignity) and Ata-Meken (Fatherland) -- quit the alliance over differences with Prime Minister Omurbek Babanov.
