吉爾吉斯斯坦反對派成立過渡政府
【英文原文】
Kyrgyz Rebels Assert Authority
Opposition leaders declared a caretaker government here Thursday and vowed to keep open a U.S. military base, while the deposed president refused to resign, raising fears of further conflict.
President Kurmanbek Bakiyev took refuge among supporters in the country's south, where he acknowledged he had lost control of armed forces and police, and said he was 'still not sure' he would remain in the mountainous Central Asian republic.
But Mr. Bakiyev told Russia's Ekho Moscow radio station that he wouldn't give up his post. He denounced protests as a 'Bacchanalia,' predicted chaos in the coming days, and said opposition leaders would prove themselves incompetent.
The Kyrgyz capital remained tense one day after bloody protests forced the president and his government to flee. Health Ministry officials raised the death toll in Wednesday's violence to 75, with more than 1,000 injured.
The leader of the coalition of opposition groups, Roza Otunbayeva, said the caretaker government was working on restoring order.
That government said it was in control of security services, and by Thursday was beginning to deploy them to prevent looting after nightfall. Police and military vehicles resumed patrols of the capital in the evening after a day of absence from the streets. Sporadic gunfire, heard early in the day in central Bishkek, had faded by midnight.
Ms. Otunbayeva said the fall of Mr. Bakiyev's government would have no effect on the supply of troops to Afghanistan through the base at Manas, though U.S. military officials said flights had been halted during the unrest and it was unclear if they had resumed.
The State Department said U.S. officials met with Mr. Bakiyev's foreign minister in Washington Thursday. Mr. Bakiyev's son and heir apparent, Maksim, had been scheduled to take part in those meetings but didn't, U.S. officials said.
A change in power in Bishkek could provide a fresh irritant to relations between the U.S. and Russia, which has considered Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet republic, part of its traditional sphere of influence.
Opposition protests were sparked by outrage over massive utility price hikes and long-simmering resentment of Mr. Bakiyev's appointment of family and friends to high government posts. Russia had lately stepped up its criticism of Mr. Bakiyev's government, angered by its decision to accept a U.S.-sponsored counterterrorism training center in southern Kyrgyzstan.

吉爾吉斯斯坦反對派成立過渡政府
週四吉爾吉斯斯坦首都比什凱克，反對派領導人宣佈成立過渡政府，並聲稱不會關閉一處美軍軍事基地；被推翻的總統拒絕辭職，讓人擔心會進一步發生衝突。
總統庫爾曼別克•巴基耶夫(Kurmanbek Bakiyev)避難於該國南部的支持者當中，承認已經失去對武裝力量和警察的掌握，並表示他仍不確定是否會留在國內。吉爾吉斯斯坦共和國位於中亞，是一個多山的國家。
但巴基耶夫對俄羅斯的莫斯科回聲(Ekho Moscow)電臺表示，他不會放棄自己的職位。他譴責示威活動是鬧酒狂歡，預測未來幾天會出現混亂，並表示事實將證明反對派領導人沒有執政能力。
在血腥示威趕跑巴基耶夫及其政府一天後，比什凱克仍然充滿緊張氣氛。衛生部官員將死於週三暴力的人數上調到75人，並宣佈有1,000多人受傷。
反對派陣線領袖歐坦巴耶娃(Roza Otunbayeva)表示，過渡政府正在採取措施恢復秩序。
過渡政府表示已掌握安全力量，到週四已經開始進行部署，防止夜幕降臨後出現搶劫。警車和軍車消失一天後，晚上重新出現在比什凱克街頭巡邏。半夜時分，白天在市中心聽到的零星槍聲已經減少。
歐坦巴耶娃表示，巴基耶夫政權倒臺不會影響美軍通過瑪納斯(Manas)軍事基地向阿富汗運送兵力，但美軍官員表示，騷亂期間飛機已經停飛，還不清楚是否已經恢復航行。
美國國務院表示，美方官員週四在華盛頓同巴基耶夫的外交部長進行了會晤。美國官員表示，巴基耶夫的兒子、法定繼承人馬克西姆(Maksim)曾計劃與會，但後來沒有參加。
比什凱克的政權更迭有可能再次影響美俄關係。吉爾吉斯斯坦曾是蘇聯加盟共和國，俄羅斯認爲它屬於自己傳統勢力範圍的一部分。
導致反對派舉行示威的，是公用事業大規模漲價引發的民怨，以及民衆長期以來對巴基耶夫任命親友擔任政府高級職位產生的反感。俄羅斯最近提高了它對巴基耶夫政府的批評聲調，原因是該政府決定同意在吉爾吉斯斯坦南部開設一家由美國支持的反恐培訓中心。
