BISHKEK (Reuters) – The Kyrgyz opposition said on Wednesday it had forced the Central Asian country's government to resign and was demanding the president quit after troops shot at protesters besieging government buildings, killing dozens.

"We have reached an agreement that the government will resign. That has not been signed on paper yet," Galina Skripkina, a senior official in the opposition Social-Democratic Party and member of parliament, told Reuters.

She said President Kurmanbek Bakiyev had left the capital Bishkek -- where demonstrators torched the prosecutor-general's office and tried to smash trucks into government buildings -- and flown to the southern city of Osh.

"For now we have only achieved the government's resignation. The White House has surrendered. The president himself has not resigned. He must resign and formally submit his resignation to parliament so we can appoint a caretaker government," she said.
