Russian President Dmitry Medvedev expressed hope on Friday that negative political developments in Kyrgyzstan have been averted.
"I hope this scenario has been ruled out especially after the former president submitted his resignation," Medvedev said adding that the threat of a civil war in Kyrgyzstan had been real.
The resignation of deposed Kyrgyz president Kurmanbek Bakiyev has been recently announced by the interim government citing his statement allegedly faxed from exile in Kazakhstan.
