Belarus says ousted Kyrgyz leader welcome

Associated Press

The authoritarian leader of Belarus says the ousted president of Kyrgyzstan would be welcome in his country.

Kurmanbek Bakiyev fled to Kazakhstan on Thursday, eight days after he was driven out of the Kyrgyz capital in the wake of a bloody uprising. It is unclear how long he intended to remain in Kazakhstan or how long that country would allow him to stay.

Belarus' state news agency Belta quoted President Alexander Lukashenko as saying he would welcome Bakiyev "as the dearest guest, as my colleague."

Lukashenko, who is often characterized as Europe's last dictator, frequently scoffs at Western concepts of democracy and human rights.
