The Kyrgyz parliament has postponed its discussion of ousted President Askar Akayev's resignation until Wednesday.

Parliamentary Speaker Omurbek Tyekebayev said that the president's resignation has not been accepted yet. Akayev will remain Kyrgyzstan's legitimate president until parliament's decision.

Parliament had planned to discuss Akayev's resignation on Tuesday.

Akayev fled the country to Russia on March 24 when opposition supporters stormed the main government building in Bishkek. On Monday, he signed a letter of resignation in the Kyrgyz Embassy in Moscow.
