A leader of the self-declared interim government that has claimed power in Kyrgyzstan said Tuesday the deposed President must return to the capital or face arrest by special forces. But ousted president Kurmanbek Bakiyev was defiant, rallying some 5,000 supporters in his power base and refusing to give in to demands that he step down.
