Kyrgyz leader warns of new unrest, wins Russian backing

---

ASTANA, July 5 (AFP): Kyrgyzstan's newly elected President Roza Otunbayeva Monday warned her country still risked being hit by new unrest as she won the clearest Russian backing yet for her government.
"At the moment the situation is relatively calm but we are ready for more clashes," Otunbayeva told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting on the sidelines of a regional summit in Kazakhstan.
"To say that everything has stopped and we can finally move onto rebuilding is not correct for the moment," she said, quoted by Russian news agencies.
Medvedev, whose country has at times been wary of giving the Kyrgyz authorities full support after the uprising that ousted former president Kurmanbek Bakiyev in April, said Otunbayeva could count on Moscow's backing.
"I expect that under your leadership, Kyrgyzstan can achieve success and overcome the period of difficulty," he said
