Following the parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan, held last Sunday with the participation of 16 parties, supporters of political parties, which failed to win seats, organized protest actions in Bishkek demanding the annulment of the elections and claiming gross violations. Preliminary results showed that four parties crossed the 7 percent threshold to enter the parliament.

Kyrgyzstan's Central Election Commission on Tuesday annulled the results of the elections after clashes between police and protesters.

On Oct. 6 President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbay Jeenbekov signed a Decree according to which a state of emergency is introduced in the capital city of Bishkek.

Today, Oct. 12 a state of emergency regime has been reintroduced in Bishkek, as the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan did not consider within three days the previously introduced state of emergency on the territory of the capital.
