On Thursday, Xinhua reporters found the building, once an embodiment of the state power, was in a total mess.

Hundreds of young people entering and leaving the building, smashing offices, and searching for valuable items.

There were several burned cars on the square in front of the presidential palace, and documents and furniture were scattered around.

Otunbayeva said the Kyrgyzstan-U.S. contract on a U.S. military base in her country would not be affected by the regime change for the moment.

"Its status quo will remain in place," she said, "Give us time and we will listen to all the sides and solve everything."

The international airport near Bishkek has reopened and flights have been resumed. The U.S. military base is located inside the airport.

Meanwhile, another opposition leader, former defense minister Ismail Isakov, told reporters the interim government had banned all senior officials of the Bakiyev administration from leaving the country.

Isakov also said the new government had won the support of the military and the interior ministry.
