Kyrgyztan's new security chief, Felix Kulov, on Sunday ruled out the possibility of an internal war after political turmoil in the country gradually quieted down.

During an interview with a Russian TV station, Kulov said the government will not allow activities of extreme nationalists or threats against Russian-speaking citizens.

Until Thursday, Kulov had been in jail on embezzlement charges that he said were politically motivated. He was freed after opposition protesters seized the government headquarters.

According to Kulov, what has happened in Kyrgyzstan is neither an insurrection nor a revolution masterminded by exterior forces, but an inevitable result of the development of domestic situation.

Kulov, who is also former vice president of the country, said that an independent national committee will be established to find out who should be responsible for the current situation.

As to ousted President Askar Akayev, Kulov said that if he made the decision to go to Russia, he should have his own reasons, adding that the rights of Akayev will be fully guaranteed by the constitution if he chooses to come back.

Kulov also expressed his belief that Kyrgyz-Russian relations will be improved.
