However, the parliamentary speaker declined to announce a vote on Khazret Sovmen's resignation.


He also failed to open Sovmen's letter, which apparently contained an explanation of Sovmen's decision.


Sovmen, a wealthy businessman, was elected to the post in 2002. His term was to expire next year.
