German FM concerned about Kyrgyz unrest

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle expressed his concern on Wednesday toward the violence in Kyrgyzstan.

"I am very concerned about the clashes between protesters and government in Kyrgyzstan," Westerwelle said in a statement issued by the German foreign office.

"I call upon both sides to exercise restraint. Instead of violent actions, peaceful dialogues, are the only correct way to calm down the situation on the ground," the foreign minister said.

Germany is the only European Union country to build an embassy in Kyrgyzstan.
