Kyrgyzstan's opposition leader Roza Otunbayeva says she will head an interim government for six months, as the government has been reportedly ousted in a violent revolt.
Opposition protesters seized the presidential administration Wednesday night and announced on state radio that they had formed an interim government with former foreign minister Otunbayeva as its head.
This comes as Kyrgyz Prime Minister Daniyar Usenov has signed a letter of resignation after a day of spectacular violence in the country.
Meanwhile, Otunbayeva vowed that the new leadership in the country would move quickly to normalize the situation, AFP reported.
Otunbayeva has also called on President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who has reportedly fled Bishkek — the capital of the strategic Central Asian state — to step down.
The Kyrgyz opposition leader says she does not know about the whereabouts of Bakiyev.
