Ata-Jurt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ata-Jurt (Fatherland) is a political party in Kyrgyzstan. It was founded on December 9, by former Foreign Minister and United States ambassador Roza Otunbaeva. She joined together with three opposition parliamentarians to found the party in preparation for the February 2005 parliamentary elections. However, she was personally barred from standing for office due to a recently enacted law in which candidates had to reside in the country for five years.

Following the 2005 Tulip Revolution, Otunbaeva joined the interim government of Acting President Kurmanbek Bakiev.
