To the president of the Kyrgyz Republic K. Bakiev. The open
letter.
Dear Kurmanbek Salievich!
Exactly in n 2 months, will be 1 year, from that day , when happened
a national revolution in Kyrgyzstan. Today, among people there is
a lot of questions, among them following: "was there on 24 of
March a revolution or overturn? What happened, what has changed"
, such many similar fair questions still are set today and on them
various answers are given. As one of people which concerns national
revolution, with approach of this significant date, I ask myself this
question and I do not find the answer.
When you were prime-minister, or in 2002 have created from several
political parties, and representatives of a civil society in history
of Kyrgyz people the first political movement with the slogan "
to Akaev –the resignation - to people reform " with the primary
goal not only to remove from post Akaev, but to cut under a root leadership
of members of his family clan over the Kyrgyz ground, and have declared
openly about an establishment in our country of democratic system.
Before too criticized Akaev, a policy carried out by him, and some
politicians demanded that he has retired. But, the open struggle was
not spent. Having united in one political force, on the basis of this
movement in which head we stood, was created movement "Kyrgyzstan"
on November, 5th, 2004, you know it perfectly. Today the majority
of members of this movement raise the important questions, and sometimes
they come to me and have told : " We risked our lives, went on
struggle, and the result of our efforts is that we have changed Akaev
on Bakiev, tell to President ".
I told them, " fruits of revolution come not for one day, to
destroy 15 years mode of Akaev a lot of time is necessary, we should
change for this purpose psychologically, morally, politically",
and they told me "you protect Bakiev ", blame me for everything.
I told them , "I tell your words at each our meeting with the
President ". But, Kurmanbek Salievich, we spoke, that we shall
carry out revolutionary reforms legally or by effective lawful ways,
but I should tell, that after 24-March, the political, economic, social,
personnel selection and a policy of struggle against corruption and
criminality differs nothing from policy of Askar Akaev. Also, by this
open letter, last time I wish to tell, and I consider it is necessary
to mention to you some facts, for example:
In police.
If we shall look at revolutions in history of mankind, after revolution
political reforms at once were carried out. After March, 24th we offered
to dismiss some politicians, who worked at Akaev and usurped the constitutional
authority, and before we shall accept the new constitution, to live
under revolutionary certificates. But you did not hear to people,
who led you to authority, you have supported authority of Akaev ,
began to listen to environment of Akaev , "we shall carry out
reform in a legal floor, in other case will begin confusion, but we
shall necessarily carry out during 2005 the constitutional reform
", - you spoke, isn’t it ? (It was there was your first mistake).
We have heard, that some politicians, which have no any attitude to
revolution, met silently with Akaev, to keep his status of the ex-president
went to Moscow, and have brought his application, you have hidden
this from us, and have not consulted, and have signed various memorandums.
Your 14 adherents, which were at the head of revolution, with purpose
to fulfill the ideology of revolution, have met with you on 18-May,
There was a heavy conversation on mistakes, which were made after
revolution, was signed the agreement between you and 14 persons. In
this agreement, after, you have gave a vow of the President, within
10 days you have given the promise to carry out the constitutional
reform. This promise is not executed. These 14 persons, which have
signed with you the memorandum after you gavra vow, and keep silence,
on July, 7th, 2005 have made the memorandum, that within 2005 it is
necessary to carry out the constitutional reform and have addressed
to you. You did not answer us.
On July, 23rd, 2005 at a cinema theatre "October" has passed
national meeting Kurultai , which was carried out by the national
movement "Kyrgyzstan" . You there had a speech and have
told, that the constitutional reform is necessary, the decision to
accept the new constitution was accepted. This decision too has not
been executed. Coordination Council of political movement "Kyrgyzstan"
has gathered again on October, 24th, 2005, we have addressed with
requirements shortly to finish the constitutional reform, within 2006
to carry out elections in Jogorku Kenesh under party lists. The answer
is not present.
Under the initiative of parties which enter into political movement
"Kyrgyzstan" has been lead VI national Kurultai on December,
24th, tens members of political parties, the nongovernmental organizations
participated in it, and it was offered to carry out a national referendum
on carrying out of the constitutional reform up to 24-March, 2006.
(it is only endurances from the documentary facts).
You have spat on decisions of national Kurultai, and have declared
that till autumn of 2006 will not carry out a referendum .There are
no doubts, that till the autumn you can change many times your position.
In a word, I believe, that, you do not wish to change the system constructed
by Akaev.
ECONOMY
In economy nothing has changed since times of Akaev. The monthly tax,
before each referendum every year grows, before elections promise
to raise pensions, the salary. In January 2006, considered by the
commission on release of laws and not approved " the program
for 2004-2006 on privatization of a state ownership in Kyrgyzstan,
have not corrected, the airport "Manas ", "Severoelectro
"," Vostokelectro "," Jalalabatelectro ","
Oshelectro "," Kyrgyzgaz ",
" Kyrgyztelecom "," Kyrgyzstan aba Joldoru ","
Bishkekteploset ","Kyrgyzneftegaz ",
" Haidarkan rtutcombinat "," BMZ " joint-stock
companies have asked the sanction to sell in the property. After revolution,
the budget of the state received million profit, in due time children
of Akaev did not pay any cent , his son-in-law privatized the cement-slate
factory , "Shampanvincombinat", " Aalam Service "
and other objects of the state, if the state could not start work
of this enterprises, then under the law these enterprises should pass
through auction, and at the open sale in the budget million money
would come. It is a time to answer to family of Akaev and to his close
environment for actions, and other privatized enterprises.
SOCIAL questions
After revolution even In Kyrgyzstan new authority should raise monthly
wages from 100 soms up to 500 soms , the size of pensions up to 1000
soms , would not began to sell those enterprises which do not work
(joint-stock company " Crystal ", "Kambarata-2"
, hydro-electric stations , "Zil", and would find investments,
would employ there thousand jobless people, to somehow change a distress
of people. Such aspiration is not observed.
Now if anywhere are under construction important enterprises or schools,
governors, in that governors, ministers, mayors, the heads of villages
gather , and give the promise..
In personnel selection.
At last assembly of the Constitutional meeting which was took place
in December 2005 in the White House you have told, " do not speak
that close to Akaev people work on posts, but give me a names "-on
24 of December on VI national kurultai, which took place in the Historical
museum in the capital of Kyrgyzstan under your request participants
of Kurultai have named 42 person. But you not only have dismissed
a three from that list (N.Tuleev, K.Sadiev, Aidaraliev ), but have
on the contrary appointed them to higher posts.
Kurmanbek Salievich , after 24-March in Jalal-Abad , Osh, Bishkek
placing under a threat their lives, your colleagues, which were at
the head of the revolution, on 60% are dismissed from their posts,
or have absolutely left the country. Others wait for their turn. In
the agreement, which has been concluded on May, 18th between you and
us (which came to our posts, owing to revolution), it has been written,
that if those people who have signed this agreement, will be dismissed
and will leave from the posts also you will leave from a post. From
your 14 colleagues half have been dismissed from a post. What you
can tell on it? If requirements of this agreement will not be executed,
let it be considered, that you have come to power fraudalently and
all questions will be discussed and solved by means of a consensus.
According to this agreement, you have not carried out the constitutional
reform, your 14 colleagues have been dismissed. You have never had
a conversation, did not consult about the Constitutional reform or
when dismissed us from posts. On our place there were yesterday's
people, which at Akaev were on supporting parts.
Kurmanbek Salievich, from whom consists your command, from that people
whocarried out a revolution with you, rom coordination advice of national
movement "Kyrgyzstan" remain now only 6 persons. (Sydykov,
I.Isakov, D.Nur uulu Dosbol, B.Asanov, A.Zhaparov). But at a meeting
with them, you do not speak with them neither about the constitutional
reform, nor about the staff, you do not discuss other questions. In
general, with whom you consult? Who are your command? Well even, before
celebrating of the anniversary of national revolution would not dismiss
Anvar Artykov, Z.Zheenbekov, which before revolution were chosen by
thousand people.
Struggle against corruption and the organized crime.
Kurmanbek Salievich, after revolution you have chosen a lawful way,
have made a decision and after that decisions you are not receded,
you will be in Parliament the first and have declared a tandem F.S.Kulov-Bakiev,
I came to you, and have asked a post of the general public prosecutor.
Before I did not struggle for a post, do you remember? Then, me, when
Akaev was a President, as he spoke, "have reached up to 7 floor
" and have set to myself an important task: to struggle with
corruption. I understood, that to struggle with corruption within
the frames of the law will be very complicated, that it will take
a lot of time to destroy corruption, it is necessary to carry out
professional investigation, and to prove through decisions of court
charge of applicants to bribe takers.
But, in spite of the fact that there were many obstacles on my way,
bodies of Office of Public Prosecutor have accepted the special 100
day time program against the corruption, the cases, which were closed
earlier, but after the revolution, suspended regarding "Kyrgyzaltyn",
"Kyrgyzgaz", "Kyrgyzpotrebsoyuz", "Kumtor",
"Renton group ", case concerning Jaisabaev , Akmatbaev and
others we have started to investigate again, and have renewed criminal
cases on real estate of Akaev and his natives, fund "Meerim ",
case , concerning events in Aksy, "Severelectro", customs,
tax, credit, budgetary, and other public enterprises, and elements
of corruption.. We have finished case on usurpation of authority by
Akaev, have carried out investigations on events in Aksy, accident
in Barskoon, the flight from the country of Akaev on March, 24th,
and on other facts of actions or inactivity which were made outside
of the law, these cases were before renewal of criminal case. Alas,
I did not expect on 19-September,that you will dismiss me from a post,
because I have deprived Aydar Akaev in Jogorku Kenesh from parliamentary
immunity. Then I have asked for you only 2 things: first, to allow
to finish the case, which were started by me., secondly, to appoint
on a post of the General Public prosecutor the person, who could finish
started cases. You have agreed on these 2 conditions. But, also have
not executed them .
Criminal cases which have been raised by me, or have been suspended,
or closed. Respondents in court Mambetaliev on case concerning "Kyrgyztelecom",
Imanbaev on case, concerning Kant cement-slate factory , Makarov on
case , concerning the real estate, and others accused have been justified
by public prosecutors, or the court has pronounced the verdict "not
guilty".
Kurmanbek Salievich, if cases, when I was the General Public prosecutor
have been renewed, the raised cases are suspended, or are closed,
or criminals have been justified, then involve me to liability for
that these cases have been illegally raised, after justify Imanbaev,
on his place put deputy Bermet Akaeva, give to Makarov the award,
for that he free of charge has given the Kant cement-slate factory,
40 per cent of real estate of "Kyrgyztelecom" give to company
"Bitel ", give to MAmbetaliev an award «Ak shumkar» , which
was given to Akaev ", because the price of "Bitel"
is 300 000 000 dollars.
National property, which was collected within 70 years give to Akaev,
his relatives, and notwithstanding, that today the Office of Public
Prosecutor has seized property, give to Turmambetov, as to the representative
of today's authority (as before) from hands in hands an award "Ak
shumkar?? ", to you speak, now after revolution there is a struggle
against corruption, have declared war of corruption, for small term
across all Kyrgyzstan objects of fund " Meerim" should be
returned to people, raise criminal cases against confidants of Akaev,
in spite of the fact that there is strong pressure of the White house
upon some high-ranking officials of 7th floors and deputies of Jogorku
Kenesh, do responsible inspired by ideas of revolution some employees
of Office of Public Prosecutor (many and without that are under persecution,
a pursuit.).
Kurmanbek Salievich! As anniversary of revolution comes nearer, the
discontent to authority, headed by you grows.
Now if somewhere passes protest actions, blame Beknazarov. If there
is a murder, blame Akmatbaev, the discontent grows not only among
chiefs of your law enforcement bodies, but also among simple people.
The example to it, in today's Secutiry council will be listened the
report of the General public prosecutor. I tell you directly, if among
people there will be opinions, that after revolution there were no
numerous changes, and if among people will pass the national meetings
and assemblies on fulfillment in a life of aims of revolution, I shall
support. Because problems of these assemblies will help you, people
will tell you about that facts, about which you do not know, do not
see, and will turn your vision.
You were chosen too by people at the same assembly, and they led
you to authority, on March, 24th. Do not forget, that those people
who now near you, in times of Akaev were with him. They in due time
spoke, that I and you enemies to Akaev. Do not forget, that as they
after revolution abuse Akaev, so they will abuse you. On December,
24th you should send on national Kurultai Sydykov and. Sarygulov,
you would hear from them those words which sounded there, but you
have on the contrary listened Aitbaev. Akaev too did not come on our
Kurultai (national meetings). Because of advices of B.Zhanuzakov,
O.Ibraimov. Who are your advisers ?. Sydykov, ??????, D.Sarygulov
or someone another?
Tandem Bakiev- Kulov , to which in the beginning we trusted, today
devided on the south and the north, but also have divided the environment
of crimes. Now representatives of the state, deputies of Jogorku Kenesh,
the nongovernmental organizations, press, politicians, too were divided
on two sides. Some politicians will tell "authority have grasped
the representatives of southern regions, do not give authority to
them, our ground is captivated by the representatives of southern
regions", - and will see all your mistakes, politize them, and
will try to divide people on two sides. They on March, 24th did not
divided on northern and southern, on nationalities, and have taken
the White house. Some day kyrgyzs will divide ob "khanate"
it would not be desirable even to think, that kyrgyzs will be divided
on khanates. But in this question there is your mistake, each of you
spoke, that you have a especial economic program, silently through
your parties, through politicians, through press conduct a policy
against each other.
In May-July of 2005, when only have formed tandem Kulov –Bakiev,
we, the command of Kulov and command of Bakiev have created the tandem,
and spoke many times about acceleration of carrying out of the constitutional
reform. (it will confirm A.Atambaev) but, Kurmanbek Salievich, as
has shown last time, you have kept away from us, and began to communicate
with confidants of Akaev, and began to speak that " there is
not K.Bakiev's command ".
Today, for anybody not a secret, that profit, which went from power,
alcoholic branch, tax, customs, that went to a pocket of family of
Akaev, are in your conducting.
Looking at that, what policy is conducted, there is an impression,
that Akaev has left his place for you specially, but having gone to
Moscow, rule the country with your hands..
If yesterday's oppositionists as they today call themselves, and behind
them also, as well as in days of Akaev watch law enforcement bodies,
overhear their conversations, they also are under supervision of press
as well as yesterday cannot go in an ether of channel «KTR», are compelled
to protect human rights, a freedom of speech, people, which yesterday
supported Akaev, today support Bakiev , laugh at you, yesterday shot
in people, sold the ground, will be again at authority, people who
served to family of Akaev, today serve to you, how it is possible
to tell, that there was a revolution?
Now we have changed Akaev for Bakiev, if we shall tell, that revolution
on it has ended, what we shall tell those people, who in March threatened
the life, that who today have remained invalids?
Therefore, Kurmanbek Salievich, you should accept all colleagues,
who stood at sources of revolution, within February, and we should
solve the above-stated problems, so it will be right. Because before
history, people, we too, as well as you shall be responsible for revolution
on March, 24th. Destiny of revolution - destiny of all of us.
Yours faithfully,
Azimbek Beknazarov.
the deputy.
