The attempts to seize land and property near Bishkek are marked by anti-Russian sentiments among others.
"We’ve been told that there have been calls against Russians and Russia," Viktor Kharchenko, press attache of the Russian embassy in Kyrgyzstan, told Interfax on Monday.
He said that large numbers of squatters gathered on the outskirts of Bishkek.
"These people are arbitrarily occupying territories. The latest reports say that today they are in an aggressive mood," he said.
The diplomat said that clashes occur because the squatters are trying to seize land, including farmlands, belonging to others.
"We have been told that there was a clash in the village of Lewinsky where they tried to occupy fields meant for sowing crops, for farming," Kharchenko said.
He said villagers came out with banners stating that it is their land and meant for sowings, not housing.
"A fairly big group arrived there, some 300 people, as we were told, armed with sticks and stones. There was a clash and villagers were injured. Still there, they were rebuffed and left for the neighboring town of Maiskoye," he said.
The embassy was told that the authorities are trying to agree with the organizers but so far unsuccessfully.
"The acting mayor of Bishkek is trying to hold talks with them. Several thousand squatters have gathered there. However, they are not inclined to hold any talks," the diplomat said.
