"We will guarantee his personal security if he steps down," said Otunbayeva after meeting with an envoy to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

Kyrgyz opposition parties on Thursday formed an interim coalition government, while Bakiyev refused to step down after clashes that left at least 75 people dead and more than 1,400 injured.

Another opposition leader, former defense minister Ismail Isakov, told reporters on Thursday that all senior officials of the Bakiyev government have been banned from leaving the country.
