Big News Network.com

The Belarussian Foreign Ministry has called on Kyrgyzstan to settle its political crisis using legal means, Interfax reports.

Mass riots and the seizure of administrative buildings are not constructive instruments of resolving political differences, the ministry said in a statement quoted by the news agency.

We ... urge all parties involved to settle any disputes within the framework of the law, the statement said.

Belarus and Kyrgyzstan are both former Soviet republics in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and both are ruled by authoritarian regimes.
