Ayduramazan, Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan | Elva, 1600
Since the election of Toktamish Narimanur as Chairman of the People's Council in 1597, a permanent but not always clear relation between his government and President Damir Kazbekur had developed. Narimanur formed a coalition government which included the Kyrzbek Democrats -the party that the had founded- and the Arberian Democratic Social Forum, along with several independent ministers. The new government -the first government without a Socialist People's Party minister since the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Kyrzbekistan- lacked a majority in the Lower House in the parliament, and had often to rely in the Akhadist parties to survive and pass many laws, as it faced a strong opposition of the Socialist People's Party, with was still the largest political party in the Lower House, had a majority in the Upper House, besides controlloing the presidency as well.
Narimanur, who was formerly a political ally of the Socialist People's Party as two-term governor of Tembyak, did not aim toward an overhaul of Kyrzbekistan's political system at first, and his government focused on introducing administrative and education reforms, a more pro-business economic policy which included lowering corporate taxation and a liberalization of the economy, and strengthening decentralization. Sometimes, Toktamish Narimarur's introduced some symbolic measures, such as being unofficially named "head of government" instead of the official Chairman of the People's Council, or that members of the cabinet called themselves "ministers" instead the official "commissar".
Toktamish Narimanur's government was becoming increasingly ineffective, with the lowest number of laws passed by parliament, as consequence of their lack of a majority in the Lower House, the suspensive vetoes by the president, and the blocking of many of the legislation passed by the Upper House, where the Socialist People's Party was able to retain a decreasing majority. On foreign policy, Toktamish Narimanur mostly offered a continuation of previous governments, with giving greenlight to the final entrance of Rojadavistan to the NETO as main policy change. Still, political cohabitation between Toktamish Narimanur and President Damir Kazbekur was increasingly complicated, as the latter was still able to control important security offices as Commander-in-chief, such as the armed forces themselves, the Kyrzbekistani Guard -the elite presidential corps-, the KyrzMaKBaK -main intelligence agency-, the Supreme Committe for State Security -an advisory federal council on security-, as well as blocking the appointment of any ambassador who could be considered too politically close to Toktamish Narimanur's government. President Damir Kazbekur remained a reserved attitude in public, but the federal government only was able to force his hand on such issues in rare ocassions, such as when Nysha Zophakuz was replaced by General Tugur Almasur as Chief of the General Staff in late 1598.
Toktamish Narimanur, to the disappointment of his own political allies and supported, was ready to abandon any promise of constitutional reform before the 1601 federal election, as it would be futile to try without the support of the Socialist People's Party, which was able to block any reform with their large number of MPs in the Lower House and their majority in the Upper House. However, this did not help to reduce the tensions between his government and the opposition Socialist People's Party, while the political situation was becoming increasingly tense with a slowing economy as consequence of a decrease of gas prices, strikes and protests against government's reforms on labour legislation and agrarian policy, and a slighly increase in terror attacks by both Akhadist and nationalist groups.
The situation only became worse after Septem 1600, after a terror attack wounded Radak Sygur -one of the founders of the Kyrzbekistani Revolutionary Armed Forces, and Chief of the General Staff from 1569 to 1591, since then chairman of the Supreme Commitee for State Security-, and left him in a coma state since then. The political conflict between the government and the president had resulted in criticism for flaws on law enforcement and intelligence, but this criticism was now directed agains Toktamish Narimanur's government. Political tension and violence only increased in the following months. A rare Akhadist militant group claimed a terror attack in a market in a town nearby Lebrazdh, which killed ten citizens, two former Socialist People's Party MPs had been murdered as well as an Arberian Democratic Social Forum mayor in an unclaimed attack. On Nueva 28, it was reported that the residence of Mimoza Mirditë, parliamentary speaker of the Democratic Social Forum, was attacked by an incendiary bomb after midnight while she was on visit to Lebrazhd. Protests against both the government and the Socialist People's Party regional governments turned violent and riot police struggled to reestablish the order.
Toktamish Narimanur's government started to lose support, as political rhetoric between the government coalition and the opposition Socialist People's Party became increasingly heated in the following months. While the Socialist People's Party would remain as the largest political party in the parliament, most polls predicted that it would fail to win a large enough majority again, while Toktamish Narimanur's politcal party was threatened to lost a third of their seats in the parliament and Akhadist political parties would more than double their seats. Only Toktamish Narimanur's Arberian-minority political allies, the Democratic Social Forum, remained with a stable political support. On mid-Dein, the Akhadist parties announced that they would set to motion an impeachment process against President Damir Kazbekur, which while unlikely to prosper, threatened to force the government coalition to take a position, while only increased the political tension in the country.
On the evening of Elvan 18, General Tuguz Almasur met with President Damir Kazbekur. Although it was an ordinary and planned meeting, there had been rumours in the last two months that Tuguz Almasur may resign as Chief of the General Staff. Although the general was a veteran of the Kyrzbek revolution, fighting in the ranks of the Kyrzbek Revolutionary Army, there had been rumours about a complicated relation between both in recent years.
The next day, Tuguz Almasur met with the Chairman of the People's Council, Toktamish Narimanur. Tuguz handed Toktamish a memorandum, warning the government that if an unity government was not formed in order end "anarchy, unrest and fraticidal strife in the country", the armed forces would be "forced to exercise its constitutional duty" and bring order to the country. Toktamish Narimanur immediately called an urgent meeting of the People's Council, that lasted more than four hours. It was not until late that evening that Toktamish Narimanur announced his resignation as Chairman of the People's Council, after he was confirmed that the Kyrzbekistani Guard leadership was given their support to the memorandum, and General Nysha Zophakuz, who headed the first military district, including Ayduramazan, that her forces will not intervene in defense of the government.
Blerina Kodheli, General Secretary of the Democratic Social Forum and Governor of the state of Kombash-Kemlyukyak dennounced any military meddling in politics, and called President Damir Kazbekur to defend democracy by immediately calling a snap election. The Akhadist political parties called for protests and demanded the resignation of the president. The Socialist People's Party, on the other hand, took a more conciliatory position, and called for negotiations to solve what they described as the "most important constitutional crisis since the 1574 rebellion".
President Damir Kazbekur did not address the nation until the following day, announcing a round table between the main political parties to find a political solution to the current crisis. However, both the Democratic Social Forum and the Akhadist political parties, which condemned the recent events as a coup d'etat, rejected to join the talks. Ilshat Kulmiyur, a law professor in the Federal University of Qendere, was proposed as Chairman of the People's Council, as he would received a simple majority in the Lower House, with the Socialist People's Party, along with a faction from Toktamish Narimanur's party, voting for the new government.
Ilshat Kulmiyur, although he had served several administrative and advising positions in state and federal governments from 1578 to 1584, was not officially a member of the Socialist People's Party. His government was considered a technocratic government, with a large number of independent ministers, although several of them have served in advisory roles for the federal government as Ilshat Kulmiyur himself did, or worked for state-owned companies. The only member of the government with a previous political experience was Ruslan Elkhanur, who had served as Commissar for Justice from 1584 to 1590.
On Elva 25, the Constitutional Council established through a 7-4 vote that the transition of power had not violated the constitution.
