Ata Meken parliamentary faction postpones discussion of Kumtor issue

Ata Meken parliamentary faction postponed discussion of Kumtor issue.

 As the deputy Erkinbek Alymbekov told 24.kg news agency, it is connected with health problems of the faction leader Omurbek Tekebayev. "He had a lot of questions to the Government and that is why we decided to postpone the discussion taking his authority and wish to personally participate in the meeting into account. I think we will hold another meeting at the beginning of the next week," he said.

 As the deputy noted, he saw no significant changes in the draft memorandum, sent by the Government to Parliament. "There are editorial amendments. All this shows that the Cabinet, which acts as lawyer of Centerra, is just trying to drag out Kumtor issue, so to say, to attrit the Parliament," Erkinbek Alymbekov added.
