WASHINGTON, March 25 (Xinhuanet) -- The United States said on Friday that it will continue to work with the international community to help support the Kyrgyz people as they work through current political transition in their history.

    "Our ambassador in Bishkek is urging the interim government to work close with the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe," deputy State Department spokesman Adam Ereli told a news briefing.

    Ereli declined to talk about recognition to the interim Kyrgyz government, saying that the current issue for Kyrgyzstan is "helping to support a process that is peaceful, that is consistent with the rule of law and that has the support and the backing of the international community."

    "What we want to see is a process that evolves according to the laws of the country, that is worked through the institutions of the country and that represents the will of the people of that country.

    "What we care is that events and decisions that are to be made and that are to happen peacefully, according to the rule of law, through Kyrgyz institutions and with the help and support of the international community," said Ereli when asked about response to the whereabout of Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev.

    The spokesman also declined to talk about the matter that whether Washington or Akayev has made any attempts to contact to each other.

    Opposition demonstrators in Kyrgyzstan pushed past riot police and seized the presidential headquarters Thursday in the Central Asian country. President Askar Akayev dropped from sight, and Russian news agencies reported that he had flown to neighboring Kazakhstan.

    Also on Thursday, the opposition leader Ishenbai Kadyrbekov waselected by the outgoing parliament as new speaker and will serve as the interim president. Enditem
