At least 75 people have lost their lives and hundreds have been injured, according to the latest report from country’s Ministry of Health, during the clashes between the police and protesters in Bishkek. Ms. Kuprianova said that the Greeks did not take any of the opposing sides and fear the possibility of civil war in the country.
