巴基耶夫在离开吉尔吉斯斯坦前向支持者发表讲话
吉尔吉斯斯坦被赶下台的总统周四离开了这个位于中亚地区的共和国。他的离去受到了俄罗斯、美国和哈萨克斯坦的催促，这些国家担心他留在国内会引 发一场内战。
The ousted president of Kyrgyzstan fled the country Thursday, his departure speeded by Russia, the U.S. and Kazakhstan, which have worried that his presence could foment a civil war in the Central Asian republic.
库尔曼别克•巴基耶夫(Kurmanbek Bakiyev)乘坐一架涡轮螺旋桨式小型飞机离国，去了哈萨克斯坦。数小时前，他在出席一次政治集会时遇到一伙暴徒追杀，这场集会最终未能举行。政府官 员称，巴基耶夫在离国时提出了辞职。
Kurmanbek Bakiyev left the country on a turbo-prop plane to neighboring Kazakhstan, hours after a mob chased him from an abortive political rally. He tendered his resignation as he departed, government officials said.
哈萨克斯坦外交部长赞称巴基耶夫离国是朝着稳定局势迈出的重要一步，并称俄罗斯、美国和哈萨克斯坦三国总统参与调解，促成了让巴基耶夫 离国的决定。
Kazakhstan's foreign minister hailed Mr. Bakiyev's departure as 'an important step toward stabilization of the situation' and said the presidents of Russia, the U.S. and Kazakhstan helped to broker the deal for him to leave.
起主要作用的似乎是俄罗斯。一位发言人称，俄罗斯总理普京于周三和巴基耶夫通了电话，然后又于周四同吉尔吉斯斯坦新领导人罗莎•欧坦巴耶娃 (Roza Otunbayeva)通了电话。
Russia appeared to take the lead role. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin spoke to Mr. Bakiyev by telephone on Wednesday, and then to Kyrgyzstan's new leader, Roza Otunbayeva, on Thursday, a spokesman said.
比什凯克的新政府此前不愿意让巴吉耶夫离国，表示它希望就巴基耶夫执政期间犯下的罪行对他本人及其核心团队进行审判；这些罪行包括上周攻占其办 公室的过程中80多人的死亡。
The new government in Bishkek had been reluctant to let Mr. Bakiyev go, saying it wanted to try him and his inner circle for crimes committed during his reign, including the deaths of more than 80 people killed in the storming of his office last week.
另一个关键问题是，巴基耶夫要求和家人一起离国。其中一些人曾在政府身居要职。但政府称，周四巴基耶夫离国时没有带上他曾掌管总统安全部门、并 面临数宗谋杀指控的兄弟。
Another sticking point was Mr. Bakiyev's demands that he leave with his family, some of whom occupied important positions in the government. But the government said Mr. Bakiyev left Thursday without his brother, who headed the presidential security service and faces murder charges.
巴基耶夫离国后，该国前国防部长于周四被捕。
Mr. Bakiyev's former defense minister was arrested Thursday after Mr. Bakiyev's departure.
