Askar Akaev, who was overthrown in 2005, appealed to the Kyrgyz Jogorku Kenesh to restore the status of the former president. The parliamentary factions and deputies consult and make the final decision.

The Jogorku Kenesh of Kyrgyzstan opposed the restoration of the former president's status of Askar Akaev, the first head of the republic. The current president Sadir Japarov said that he will not have any influence on the work of the parliament.
