Russia on Thursday threw its weight behind...
Novosti. Bakiyev has made no statements so far, but Kyrgyz ambassador to Russia Raimkul Attakurov said he will soon address the nation."[President Bakiyev] has not made any statement on his resignation. A presidential address to the nation is being drafted and will be made public as soon as possible," the ambassador said.
Attakurov said Bakiyev is in the south of Kyrgyzstan. The opposition says he is in Jalal-Abad and earlier reports said he was in Osh. Both are towns in the south of the country.
Unrest continues
A RIA Novosti correspondent at the scene reported on Thursday that crowds have set fire to and looted parts of the government headquarters in capital Bishkek.
Around 1,000 people gathered in the square in front of the building and looters carried equipment and carpets out of the building. Smoke could be seen rising from the sixth and seven floors, where the presidential offices are.
