Where will Akayev escape?

The head of Kirghizia Askar Akayev with family and nearest surroundings took off on the presidential helicopter Mi-8 in the direction to Kazakhstan border.

Informed sources in Bishkek reported about it. According to unconfirmed data, a helicopter has already landed on Kazakhstan territory, Polit.ru informed.

Meantime MFA of Kazakhstan declared that they did not keep informed that Akayev took off from Bishkek toward the republic. "Now we do not keep informed about such facts", - the press secretary of Kazakhstan MFA Iliyas Omarov declared.

As a source close to the secretariat of the Ukrainian president reports, there is a possibility of granting political asylum to the president of Kirghizia Askar Akayev.

Ministry of foreign affairs of Ukraine did not confirm this information, as well as did not refute, referring to that such decision has to be made by more high level, "Obkom" reported.

One of possible versions of reasons of Mr. Akayev appeal to Ukrainian authorities is his aspiration to oppose "tulip revolution" enlisting the support of "orange president".
