After the arrest of Omurbek Tekebayev, the protests will intensify. An expert Elmira Nogoybaeva believes.

According to her, the authorities discredited themselves by demonstrative arrest of Tekebayev.

Political scientist Tamerlan Ibraimov believes that Alamzbek Atambayev pointed at his main political opponent on the eve of the upcoming presidential elections.

«But the saddest thing is that we will not have any reforms in near future. Situation with Tekebayev may give rise to destruction. External forces may group and we may get an unexpected person in control over the country. This means that the instability will continue," Tamerlan Ibraimov added.

Recall, Omurbek Tekebayev is accused of corruption and fraud.
