\"\"Kyrgyzstan’s ex-deputy PM said that Turkey proved that a modern democracy could be established both in the Turkic and the Islamic world.<\/h3>\n

Kyrgyzstan’s former parliament speaker and deputy prime minister said Saturday that Turkey proved that a modern democracy could be established both in the Turkic and the Islamic world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Omurbek Tekebayev, leader of Kyrgyzstan’s Ata Meken Party, held a press conference in the Turkish capital following his talks with Turkish officials including Turkish President Abdullah Gul, Parliament Speaker Mehmet Ali Sahin and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.<\/p>\n

Turkey pledged support to Kyrgysztan to help establish a parliamentary system in the country, Kyrgyz officials said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at the press conference, Tekebayev said that recent riots that led to ousting of Kyrgyz government has brought a historic change in the country.<\/p>\n

Bloody street riots ousted President Kurmanbek Bakiyev in April. Violence in the country killed hundreds and displaced thousands. Kyrgyzstan is set to vote for a parliamentary election on October 10.<\/p>\n

Tekebayev said the country was ruled by only one family since 1990s, the post-Soviet era, which he described as a period of “criminal system.”<\/p>\n

Two Kyrgyz presidents have been ousted after unrests in last five years, Tekebayev said, adding that it was because Kyrgyz people did not want a dictatorship in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking as an advocate of democracy, Tekebayev said, “democracy is a life style. It is untrue to say that democracy cannot be established in Central Asia, Turkic and Islamic countries.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Turkish parliamentary system proves that a modern democracy can be formed in the Turkic and the Islamic world,” he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n
