THE interim leader of Kyrgyzstan Roza Otunbayeva appealed to Russia today to send troops to help quell the violence in the southern part of the country.
The appeal was made in a letter sent to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Otunbayeva told reporters.
"Since yesterday evening the situation goes over the edge, we need the input of other military forces to appease the situation. In this concern, we appealed for help to Russia," said the interim leader.
The death toll from clashes has risen to 49 and another 654 were wounded.
The unrest, erupted late Thursday, has prompted the interim government to declare a state of emergency in the city, which has also been put under a curfew from 8pm (1400 GMT) to 6am until June 20.
