The parliament in the central Asian Republic of Kyrgyzstan has adopted a new constitution curbing presidential power and boosting that of legislators.
The parliament session follows a week of protests in the capital, Bishkek.
Cheers and applause filled the parliamentary chamber as the majority of the MPs passed the new constitution. It still needs to be signed by President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, but legislators say that is now a mere formality.
For a year-and-a-half President Bakiyev has delayed this process.
