Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev will severely suppress disorders after the presidential election. He stated this today at an official ceremony timed to the Independence Day.

According to him, discrediting the results of the elections is prepared in advance. «Recently, the topic of the so-called administrative resource is actively being discussed, which supposedly will ensure the victory of the candidate from the SDPK. This is served as an indisputable fact, and even options for organizing mass riots are discussed in case the candidate wins the SDPK,» the head of state said.

I will not deny the obvious — there is always a zealous official who, for the sake of the authorities, will campaign for a candidate from the presidential party. An obliging fool is more dangerous than an enemy. And such fail officials must be severely punished.

«As for the organization of the riots, my powers under the Constitution will last at least until December 1, 2017. And I have enough time to severely suppress any attempts to stir up the country and to severely punish. This time, we will not forgive anyone,» the president warned.
