Former President of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev is accused of preparing a coup in the country.
According to TASS, this was stated by the head of the State Committee for National Security Orozbek Opumbayev.
“He needed blood to start a coup. That was his intention,” SCNS head Opumbayev said.
It should be recalled that on August 8, Kyrgyzstan’s law enforcement agencies have detained the country’s former President Almazbek Atambayev.
