BISHKEK. Oct 17 (Interfax) - Kyrgyz security service head Keneshbek Dushebayev complains that CIS colleagues do not help the search for suspects wanted by Kyrgyzstan.
"Kazakhstan replied to only five out of 17 appeals for assistance to the detention of suspects," the head of the National Security Committee said at the Monday meeting of the Parliamentary Committee for Defense and Security.
"The National Security Committee knows the whereabouts of a number of former officials but it is unable to extradite them home so far," he said.
For instance, ex-President Kurmanbek Bakiyev lives in Belarus. "His brother, Zanysh Bakiyev, lives nearby and sometimes takes business trips to Tajikistan," he said.
The senior son of the ex-President, Marat Bakiyev, "stays in Kazakhstan and in Belarus," he said. The junior son, Maxim Bakiyev, has been granted a refugee status and taken residence in the UK. Dushenbayev lamented that former head of the Kyrgyz security services Murat Sutalinov and ex-Premier Daniyar Usenov were also living in the UK.
"There is no assistance" from the Uzbek security services either, and Bishkek has asked Uzbekistan to help find the participants in the inter-ethnic clashes of July 2010 - ethnic Uzbek Kadyrzhan Batyrov, Jalallidin Salahutdinov and Inom Abdirasulov.
All of the above are wanted for various crimes, such as riots, murders and incitement to inter-ethnic feud. The inter-ethnic clashes in the Osh and Jalal-Abad regions in June 2010 killed 436 people and injured about 2,000.
