Answer BBCKyrgyz President Sooronbai Jeenbekov said yesterday that the country is facing a coup plot: “The main objective of the protesters is not to cancel the election results, but to deprive me of my power.”
Mr. Jeenbekov is still in power but has suggested that he might resign. “I am willing to give responsibility to strong leaders, no matter which side they are on. I am ready to help them, ”said Jeenbekov.
