An opposition-led rally in Bishkek resulted in violent clashes with police Tuesday.
The Russian foreign ministry said earlier Tuesday that constructive dialogue was necessary to resolve the current conflict in Kyrgyzstan.
"We believe that the best way to resolve the current situation can be found only by legal means, through constructive dialogue between government bodies and the opposition," the ministry said in a statement.
"Russia, which wants gradual development in Kyrgyzstan under conditions of stability, hopes common sense will prevail over political emotions and ambitions," the statement said.
The opposition accuses President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and the government of failing to deliver on promises to crack down on corruption and raise living standards in the impoverished ex-Soviet republic since coming to power in 2005 on the back of a violent public uprising, or 'tulip revolution.'
A spokeswoman for Kyrgyzstan's Health Ministry said earlier Tuesday that three people were hospitalized following the clashes in Bishkek's central square.
Two people were also reported to be suffering from gas poisoning after riot police dispersed opposition demonstrators following six days of protest in front of the government administration building.
A Kyrgyz deputy interior minister denied that Kyrgyz authorities used any weapons against the demonstrators, but said that they were ready to do so should there be any attempt to seize government facilities.
