Kyrgyz authorities have subdued rioters in the city of Talas by running the crowds off using tear gas, Kyrgyz Interior Minister Moldomusa Kongantiyev said on Tuesday.
"Police authorities have the situation in Talas under control. The people who were pushed from the city's central square took off down different streets and were throwing rocks at police. There were a lot of drunks and people with Molotov cocktails, therefore, it was necessary for the police to intervene," the minister said at a press conference.
He said the situation in the republic was stable.
