Kyrrent Events in Kyrgyzstan By Dave Barry Houston Chronicle, 03-18-01 (Rick Archer's Note: "Kyrgyzstan" is a small Asian country about the size of Texas located next to the NW corner of China. It was previously a part of Russia.) Now it's time for "Foreign News Notes from Abroad". Our top story today is the recent presidential election held sometime last year in Kyrgyzstan. By way of background: Kyrgyzstan is an actual nation located in the Eastern Hemisphere. Or possibly the Western Hemisphere. It's definitely in a hemisphere. Historically, Kyrgyzstan is part of a group of nations - which also includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan - that were founded by a guy named "Stan". Unfortunately, most Americans know little about Kyrgyzstan. Most Americans can't even spell "Kyrgyzstan", although it's easy if you remember this simple rhyme: First there's a K. Then Y comes to play, Which is followed by R, Then guess the rest of the way.
