Kyrgyzstan's Cabinet resigns amid political turmoil

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — Kyrgyzstan's Cabinet has resigned following the breakup of the governing coalition, part of political maneuvering ahead of a constitutional referendum set for this fall in the ex-Soviet Central Asian nation.

The Kyrgyz parliament's speaker formally declared Wednesday that the governing coalition no longer exists following the departure of President Almazbek Atambayev's Social-Democratic Party.
