"The Government should pay as much attention as possible to the upgrade of the defenses [of these sites]. We ought to strengthen the anti-extremist legislation, reveal the sources of cash for these groups, and neutralize drug traffickers and organized crime," the Kyrgyz President urged.
Kyrgyzstan is facing a major challenge of recently intensified extremist and criminal activity, he said.
"In the past two years they have switched to murders, arsons, and assaults upon officials. This is a barefaced criminal challenge," he went on.
According to Mr. Akayev, banned religious party Hizb-ut Tahrir al-Islami's activity was a major concern.
"Its religious fanatics openly speak about a need for establishing an Islamic state across the Fergana Valley [part of which belongs to Uzbekistan, part to Tajikistan, and the rest to Kyrgyzstan], and they have declared an ideological Jihad throughout Central Asia," the Kyrgyz President said.
According to Mr. Akayev, this party has not only international sponsors, but also local Kyrgyz supporters.
"As they are brought to justice for criminal offenses, they immediately cry out about dissenters being persecuted, though everyone knows there are no people in this country, imprisoned for what they think," Mr. Akayev underscored.
The Kyrgyz President went on to say some opposition non-governmental organizations and media posed a threat of a forced coup.
"What we are dealing with is not harmless propaganda; this is purposeful preparation for a coup. Some print media outlets use a slightest pretext to turn their pages into instructions how to destabilize the country," he said.
He argued that such challenges as international terrorism, extremism, information warfare, drug trafficking, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and organized crime severely undermined Kyrgyzstan's national security. All these factors, to an extent, are a matter of fact in the republic, he said.
