A young politician Edil Baisalov had to leave Kyrgyzstan not long before the parliament elections last year. Officials brought a criminal case against Baisalov when he had posted the photo of the voting-paper in his own blog. Nobody knew about his location since his leaving.

The local Kyrgyz newspaper “Litsa” (“Faces”) has had a chance to take an interview with Mr. Baisalov recently. He told that he was in Sweden now. His wife is taking her doctor’s degree there.

“I am ready to stand and account if I broke the law in any way. I don’t duck out, but an investigation and a court should be absolutely impartial and shouldn’t pursue any political accents”, Baisalov told.

According to Baisalov, “the parliament elections looked like a big and wicked performance”.

“I asserted and I will continue to insist that the Central Electoral Commission broke the Election Codex, when it didn’t print the voting papers on the special protected paper. I have been observing this process myself”, Baisalov said.

Mr. Baisalov also commented some events in Kyrgyzstan.

“I am against the privatization of the energy sector. An energy sector is the backbone of our economic and our idea of the Kyrgyz State system. The statement about our government being a bad owner is a total nonsense”, he considered.

Mr. Baisalov tried to foretell a future situation in Kyrgyzstan.

“A power which suggests to the people the new images and a new political language will win. Our opposition should stop intimidating the authority and should communicate to the people more. An opposition leaders shouldn’t gather a crowd of people to come to power, but must strive for the public opinion”, Baisalov told.
