LUXEMBOURG, April 1 (RIA Novosti) - The acknowledgement of the authorities of the new single-chamber parliament elected on February 27 and March 13 has brought stabilization to Kyrgyzstan, official spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry told journalists on arriving in Luxembourg on Friday.
"Efforts taken by acting Kyrgyz leaders to stabilize the situation are yielding positive results," Yakovenko said.
According to the diplomat, Russia is contributing to Kyrgyzstan's settlement.
"We want the domestic developments to be peaceful and legitimate. We maintain permanent contacts with parliament, the government and Foreign Ministry of the republic," Yakovenko noted. In his words, Moscow hails Bishkek's readiness to stick to international obligations, particularly, connected with the country's membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO: Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Armenia) and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, China and Tajikistan).
"Russia supports the OSCE efforts aimed at the restoration of legitimacy in Kyrgyzstan on the basis of the Constitution," Alexander Yakovenko stressed.
