Kyrgyzstan is to demand the extradition of ex-president Kurmanbek Bakiyev and his brother Janysh Bakiyev through international organizations and through the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth of independent states in particular, Kyrgyzstan FM press secretary Nurzhigit Kadybekov told at press conference on August 28, Vecherni Bishkek says.
He stressed that citizens accused of grave crime should be extradited in accordance with the international agreements.
“The Foreign Ministry of Kyrgyzstan stated so on August 23, however Belarus did not reacted to the statement anyhow, so we had to recall our ambassador for a consultation. A verbal note is a serious diplomatic act and there should have been an obligatory response,” Mr. Kadybekov said.
If Minsk refuses to extradite Janysh Bakiyev, Kyrgyzstan is to act according to the international legislation to extradite Janysh Bakiyev from Belarus. The press secretary said.
However, Russian Novaya Gazeta says that Minsk is unlikely to extradite any Bakiyev from Belarus. Kyrgyzstan has no leverages to somewhat seriously influence Belarus and Aliaksandr Lukashenka has personally invited ex-president Kurmanbek Bakiyev and his milieu to stay in Minsk after the turnover after the coup d'éta in 2010. And Lukashenka received Bakiyev not as a criminal (whom he is considered now in Kyrgyzstan) but as a president. Moreover, Lukashenka severely criticized the revolution in Kyrgyzstan.
Janysh Bakiyev and his escort was spotted in Minsk on August 17. On August 24, Kyrgyzstan recalled its Ambassador to Belarus.
