The statement.

On April, 29th democratic forces of republic  will  held action of republican scale - meeting-procession under the slogan " Democratic reforms for prosperity of Kyrgyzstan ". On it representatives of political parties, the nongovernmental organizations and all political active citizens of Kyrgyzstan are measured to express the will and the requirement to the government. In this connection the staff on carrying out of meeting-procession  on April , 29 declares the following.
Events  of 24 th  of March  are not a personal merit of several leaders. They have been caused by a deep credibility  gap of a society to former authority. Democratic movement of people has been directed against a unfair mode, against corruption, domesticity and double standards in state management. People of the country, inhabitants of all corners of Kyrgyzstan with sinking heart watched for occured on the main square of the country. For simple citizens it was revolt against lawlessness and a hopelessness, against a life in which there is no belief and it is not visible light in the end of the tunnel. On presidential elections in July, 2005 the majority of people has come on polling districts to vote for the future, for prosperity and the order. The  people of Kyrgyzstan have given the voices for original reforms, for association of democratic forces of a society, for the written obligations signed by participants of a political tandem. The hope, belief and enthusiasm of people were strong as never. That has more strongly appeared disappointment. Has passed year, but authority has proved nothing of the aspiration to changes, for dismantle of that system which has divided the state and a society.

Lack of initiative, the private policy of a management, its regular refusals of the public statement of oral and written obligations and continuing practice of a manipulation public opinion and rules of law  brought people in a shock. This cynical ignoring of people and the promises given to it have striked to a society stronger blow, than even one and a half decades of  authoritative board of the first president. People was deceived in the best expectations and hopes. Occuring events in the country prove, that the authority has not made conclusions of March, 24th, 2005. Rough infringements of the right of a private property, captures of another's property have become a rule. At ordinary citizens remains ever less belief in ability of the state to protect their life, health and property.

 

They have nobody to count on, when judges became toys in hands of influential people, and the principle of force is used by criminal leaders and speculators of all colours. And all this occurs at a tacit consent of present authority.

Today the neglect requirements of the legislation has reached a dangerous limit behind which the norm become not laws,  but exception of them and numerous misinterpreting. Selective application of norms of the right undermines sense of justice of people and  foundations of the government.
But especially disturbs people, that the country leaders do not undertake any efforts changing a situation. The constitutional reform which participants of a pre-election tandem promised to lead up to the end of 2005, is frozen. The judicial authority remains corrupted and dependent. Today it has shamefully conceded to pressure  of criminality . The authority till now has not sounded the program in one of spheres of a public life. As a result of such policy, the authority of the government has fallen up to a depressing and inadmissible low level.

The civil society of Kyrgyzstan considers, that the further putting off of the constitutional reform can have heavy consequences for the country. If measures will not be immediately undertaken, in a society there can be irreversible changes. Now reform is necessary  not to  improve a situation , but to rescue a society and the state. If to not stop the begun processes the country will appear on the verge of national catastrophe.

Realizing importance of the present moment and its crucial importance for fate of  the country  and the states, the Staff on carrying out of meeting-procession " Democratic reforms for prosperity of Kyrgyzstan " insists on immediate realization of those requirements which underlay events on March, 24th, 2005. In this connection we demand carrying out of the constitutional reform of all political system of the country, including following obligatory items:

- Nationally elected president with powers of the arbitrator between three branches of authority.

- The strong and independent government formed by the parliamentary majority.

- Transition to proportionally majority electoral system combining elections under party lists and on one-mandatory districts.

- Maintenance of conditions for real independence and fair work of judicial system.

  1. Decentralization, development of local self-management and reform  of administrative -territorial division of Kyrgyzstan.

 

- Deep transformations to law-enforcement sphere, a direction on real maintenance of the law and order and legality in all territory of republic.

- Maintenance of activity of independent mass-media and a real ideological competition in information space of the country. Reorganization of the State telebroadcasting company with observance of the international standards of a public announcement.

- Maintenance  of real economic  competitive spirit . An interdiction on use of the state powers for replacement from the market of economic competitors. Elimination of practice of "family" business. Protection of free businessmen against pressure of criminal forces.

We understand, that for realization of these measures time is required. But the authority already now should prove the readiness to go on reforms. For this purpose the president should bring immediately in Jogorku Kenesh the coordinated project of new edition of the Constitution and to refuse the right of its response.

Henceforth and down to the termination of the constitutional and administrative reform strictly to observe current legislation  of Kyrgyz Republic. The Head of the state should not interfere with work of executive, legislative and judicial authority and  vise versa.

The staff on carrying out of meeting-procession "democratic reforms for prosperity of Kyrgyzstan " calls all fair and responsible citizens of the country to support democratic processes until they will not accept irreversible character. The original essence of events on March, 24th was not in change of several heads of the state. People wished to change system, they wished to change the life. It was a choice of Destiny and the Future. We should finish the transformations underlain this movement. It is our duty to victims of this struggle .  We cannot return them in our numbers. But to finish their business in our forces.

 

We call all politically active and not indifferent to destiny of the Native land of citizens of the country to make the choice and to take part in meeting-procession on April, 29th. Also we call authorities to provide the order at carrying out of this action, and to its participants safety.
