No legal reasons to extradite Bakiyev to Kyrgyzstan - prosecutor

MINSK, June 23 (Itar-Tass) - We see no legal reasons to meet Bishkek's request to extradite former Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the Belarusian Prosecutor General's Office said.

"We've found no legal grounds to meet this request," Prosecutor General Grigory Vasilevich told a news conference on Wednesday.

However, the prosecutor declined to answer the question whether the refusal to extradite Bakiyev implies that Belarus, after examining the evidence against him, found him innocent of the charges.
