The Tulip Revolution: Kyrgyzstan One Year After A B O U T T H E J A M E S T O W N F O U N D A T I O N The Jamestown Foundation’s mission is to inform and educate policy makers and the broader policy community about events and trends in those societies which are strategically or tactically important to the United States and which frequently restrict access to such information. Utilizing indigenous and primary sources, Jamestown’s material is delivered without political bias, filter or agenda. It is often the only source of information which should be, but is not always, available through official or intelligence channels, especially in regard to Eurasia and terrorism. Launched in 1984 after Jamestown’s late president and founder William Geimer’s work with Arkady Shevchenko, the highest-ranking Soviet official ever to defect when he left his position as undersecretary general of the United Nations, The Jamestown Foundation rapidly became the leading source of information about the inner workings of closed totalitarian societies. Over the past two decades, Jamestown has developed an extensive global network of experts - from the Black Sea to Siberia, from the Persian Gulf to the Pacific. This core of intellectual talent includes former high-ranking government officials and military officers, political scientists, journalists, scholars and economists. Their insight contributes significantly to policymakers engaged in addressing today’s new and emerging global threats, including that from international terrorists.

A U T H O R ’ S A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S I would like to thank Glen Howard, President of the Jamestown Foundation, for inviting me to publish in the Eurasia Daily Monitor since March 2005. While writing for EDM I had the opportunity to reflect upon events surrounding the March 24 Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan both as a scholar and as a Kyrgyz. My work would not be possible without Ann Robertson, EDM’s Managing Editor. Many thanks to Svante Cornell, the Research Director at the Central Asia - Caucasus Institute & Silk Road Studies Program for his professional support and encouragement. Finally, I am indebted to Kristi Marks and Christopher Swift from the Jamestown Foundation for their enormous help in organizing this volume.
