"The government has no legal foundation or capacity to exist. A political vacuum has been created in Mongolia," the MPRP said in the statement.
For even more entertainment a new lottery will be launched.

Why does the MPRP also want to also take down Elbegdorj when it has been members of their own party, not the Prime Minister, who have caused their turmoil? Perhaps they are afraid that once the MPRP cabinet members resign, Elbegdorj will be in a better position to challenge Enkhbayar for the presidency and give even greater momentum to the Democratic Party.
Thanks for the coverage. Are there any pictures anywhere on the web yet?
Garett: I have to agree with you that doesn't look good on the MPRP
Yan: As far as I know no images yet. Thanks for your referal, I saw your post in the serach engines, but cannot reach the blogspot domain from home, as my provider probably has its internet access through China.
My girlfriend has found quite a lot of pictures here.
The building with the broken windows is the MPRP headquarters.
