Kyrgyz interim President Kurmanbek Bakiyev said on Sunday that the parliament might delay a vote on the resignation of his ousted predecessor, Askar Akayev.

During an interview on Russian state-run television, Bakiyev said that the parliament is unlikely to accept until later this week Akayev's resignation written in the Russian capital, Moscow, last week.

The Parliament was to debate the issue again on Monday.

Bakiyev said that the lawmakers would not "manage to pass a decision. Most likely they will do it in several days."

Besides, he said that deputies had questions relating to property belonging to Akayev and his family.

A commission has been created to look at this, and will then report to the parliament on the results of its investigation, he added.

On the same day, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) urged the parliament to vote on Akayev's

resignation quickly to aid stability.

OSCE special envoy Alojz Peterle said in a statement that the vote will "contribute decisively to improving stability in the country, promote adherence to the constitutional framework and strengthen the democratic image of Kyrgyzstan in the world."

Kyrgyzstan experienced political turbulence when disputed parliamentary elections on Feb. 27 and March 13 triggered widespread protests across the Central Asian country.

Opposition supporters stormed main government buildings in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek and forced Kyrgyzstan President Akayev to flee to Moscow and finally to resign.
