Kyrgyzstan's🇰🇬 Ambassador: Krgyz Uprising a Result of Political Forces Trying to Buy The State!

We speak to Kyrgyzstan's Ambassador to the UK Edil Baisalov on the recent revolution in Kyrgyzstan following elections which drew mass protests after revelations of vote-buying and the nullifying of the election result. He discusses how certain political actors bought votes on a mass-scale and attempted to 'privatise the state' as well as buying the institutions for the next two decades, the theme of revolutions in Kyrgyzstan's post-USSR nation-building, why the revolution was entirely organic and not a product of foreign intervention by economic institutions or foreign powers, why Kyrgyzstan's foreign policy and Russian-friendly foreign policy is likely to continue after the revolution, the confusion over who holds what position as protests and violence sweep the capital Bishkek and more!
