Will he go into "opposition?" It always seemed to me that in Central Asia, being in the opposition is viewed as very bad, almost treasonous; besides, it is much more beneficial to try to find a way to get into the government and share in the spoils. Perhaps somebody like Kulov can change this. Not that he has a long background in democracy, but he does enjoy some popular support. So what now for Kulov?
