Tulip Revolution
The Tulip Revolution was a wave of protests in Kyrgyzstan in March 2005 that overthrew President Askar Akayev. Triggered by disputed parliamentary elections, it began in the south, in Jalal-Abad and Osh, and culminated in the storming of the presidential offices in Bishkek on 24 March. Akayev fled to Russia and resigned, and Kurmanbek Bakiyev became president, though he was himself ousted in a further uprising in 2010.
