Talk:2005 Kyrgyz parliamentary election

Some questions to answer in the article
This article is somewhat slanted in favour of the anti-government forces. Who made the accusations in the article against the government? If the government is so bad, why were they able to make the assertions in the press? What about the reports of violent actions by those opposing their government? Aren't these people terrorists and rioters?

Is there more than one group? Where does the military stand? Might there be a coup de etat or civil war?

Who is behind the expulsion of the government? Revolutions don't just happen. They require planning and funding.

What are the sources of this information? Are the opposition in favour of democracy If so, when will they be holding elections? Will they have observers present? Provided by whom?

Did the Kyrgyz administration or ruling party have websites? Can anyone provide or locate a translation?

What are other countries' and international organisations' reactions? Have they made statements about the reigeme?
 * UN, Red Cross, Amnesty international
 * The G8 countries
 * Neighbours: Russia, Uzbekistan , Kazakhstan, Tajikistan
 * Others: Turkey, Australia
 * Who are the relevant spokespeople for these organisations and countries?

Wouldn't they have done better to let the vote be almost even, then force the issue, gerrymander and rig the ballots in a few key states? What were they hoping to achieve with such a large majority? Who did they think would believe it? Does the history of the country affect this, and perhaps the proximity to the Russian experience with Putin?

In response to your comments, I have contributed the majority of information to the article (which has now been moved to the tulip revolution page. To answer some of your questions, I feel balance was and is achieved in the article. There are links to pro-govt and anti-govt pages at the bottom of the article, there are a higher proportion of govt quotes. I refrained from using my own personal bias, whilst writing articles. I explained what the protestors were doing, believing facts speak for themselves.

To answer your questions at the bottom, well I dont believe it is our place to offer opinions on Akayev's motives. If that was done it could be seen as an article with opinion, which distorted peoples ability to judge for themselves.

P.S Many government websites no longer work. I can only presume that most were set up and controlled by those in power who have now taken them down.
