Hum Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan ? Lawmakers in Kyrgyzstan's raucous parliament have sacrificed seven sheep in what they call a bid to drive evil spirits out of the chamber. Parliament press officer Shairbek Mamatoktorov said almost all the deputies attended Thursday morning's traditional ceremony. He says meat from the slaughtered animals will be sent to homes for the elderly and the disabled. The impoverished Central Asian nation's fragile three-party coalition has descended into a flurry of squabbling. Deputies from two parties in the fragile coalition government even came to blows earlier this month and traded bitter accusations. This month marked the first anniversary of a bloody uprising that led to the ouster of the country's authoritarian leader. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
