Kyrgyz president home after Moscow heart treatment

Author: AFP

BISHKEK: Kyrgyzstan’s President Almazbek Atambayev on Saturday returned to his Central Asian homeland after being discharged from a Moscow hospital where he was treated for heart problems, officials said.

A statement from the Kyrgyz presidency said Atambayev flew into the capital Bishkek after “undergoing treatment” at the Russian government facility. No details were given on his health but a photograph was released showing him smiling as he descended plane steps next to his wife. Atambayev, 60, was transferred to Russia just over a week ago after being hospitalised with chest pains in Turkey during a stop-off on the way to the United Nations General Assembly. In an earlier statement on Tuesday the Kyrgyz authorities said doctors had noted a “significant improvement in the condition” of Atambayev and problems connected to heart arrhythmia had been “fully resolved”.
