Dear Administration of CentrAsia,
We have serious problems with a server (kyrgyz.us), now we are trying to understand what happened and it is not known when we will appear. It is very a pity that it occurs two days prior to elections. There is urgent information from Bishkek. The reliable source in the White House informed that on the top the decision on blocking of undesirable online editions is accepted. As an extreme measure there is a probability of full closing of the external traffic.

Best regards,
Ulan Melisbek
