On January 10, voters in Kazakhstan went to the polls and elected a new parliament that looks very much like the old parliament.<\/p>\n

The same day, voters in Kyrgyzstan went to the polls and elected a new president and voted to change the system of government to a presidential form of rule.<\/p>\n

On this week’s Majlis podcast, RFE\/RL’s Media-Relations Manager Muhammad Tahir moderates a discussion looking at what happened — and what might come next for both countries.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s guests are: speaking from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, Gulnara Iskakova, a former Kyrgyz ambassador to the U.K. and Switzerland; from Washington, Paul Stronski, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment For International Peace and author of numerous reports about Central Asia; and Bruce Pannier, the author of RFE\/RL’s Qishloq Ovozi blog.<\/p>\n
