The new Kyrgyz Parliament has relieved former vice president, Feliks Kulov, of his post as security chief at his own request.

Previously, Kulov had told the parliament there was no need for a chief security coordinator in Kyrgyzstan now that the situation has stabilized and a temporary government has been formed.

Hours before announcing his resignation, Kulov promised personal security to ousted president, Askar Akayev, and urged him to return to the country to resign officially.

Meanwhile, Kyrgyzstan's new parliamentary speaker, Omurbek Tekebayev, says the voluntary resignation of Askar Akayev as president is the best solution to the crisis in the country.

In another development, President Askar Akayev has expressed his readiness to resign on condition that his security is guaranteed, while the acting Kyrgyz Foreign Minister said her country does not plan to demand the extradition of Akayev.
