Kyrgyzstan swears in caretaker president (AP)

July 3rd, 2010

Kyrgyzstan's interim government leader Roza Otunbayeva gestures as she speaks to the media in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Sunday, June 27, 2010. Kyrgyzstan's interim president said voters approved a new constitution Sunday that will allow the Central Asian nation to form a legitimate government after months of turmoil. President Roza Otunbayeva called the referendum a success, saying it took place without incident and paves the way for holding parliamentary elections in the fall. The vote came just weeks after rampages killed as many as 2,000 people and forced 400,000 ethnic Uzbeks to temporarily flee.
