Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiev today rejected opposition demands that he step down and said the calls for his resignation are "a blow to the political future" of Kyrgyzstan.
On February 19, a new opposition movement, the United Front for Kyrgyzstan's Decent Future, published a declaration saying the country needs political reform and new leadership.
Former Prime Minister Feliks Kulov, who joined the opposition last week, was among the signatories.
