The Kyrgyz presidential press secretary Abdil Segizbayev said he sees no need to declare a state of emergency. \"Nobody is going to declare a state of emergency in Kyrgyzstan. There are no prerequisites for it,\" Segizbayev said on Monday, commenting on the opposition rallies taking place in southern Kyrgyzstan. \"On the whole, the situation in the republic remains calm. Any rallies that are held in compliance with the constitution are not prohibited,\" the press secretary said. He denied reports that \"extra law enforcement units have been sent to Dzhalal-Abad\" in the country\'s south. \"The Prosecutor General\'s Office and law enforcement agencies will make appropriate decisions following the seizure of the Dzhalal-Abad regional administration building,\" Segizbayev said. Of the 1,000 participants in the Dzhalal-Abad rally, 250 are family members of the action\'s organizers, he said. Some people have been paid for their participation in the rally, he said. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the opposition have criticized the authorities\' handling of the February 27 first round of parliamentary elections. Some opposition members have called for early presidential elections and a re-run of the parliamentary elections\' first round. Segizbayev said he does not see any reason to re-consider the date for the second round. (Interfax)
