BISHKEK, March 24 (RIA Novosti) - Demonstrators are waving the Kyrgyz president's standard from Askar Akayev's office in the government building, reports a RIA Novosti correspondent.

Opposition supporters have got full control over the building. Policemen are being taken out of the building now. They go in a column.

The protesters are beating government staff members.

Law enforcers have not made a single shot.

People are entering and leaving the government building unhindered. Papers, documents, computers and other office equipment are thrown from the windows on all floors.

By unconfirmed data, almost all the leadership of the country had left the building prior to the storm. The president and his supporters are in a Bishkek hotel.

Kyrgyz television is siding with the opposition.
