Русская версияPakistani President Pervez Musharraf is reportedly ready to resign
to avoid impeachment or criminal charges.
Aides of the embattled
leader and coalition officials were holding talks that would
possibly end in Musharraf standing down. The ruling government
coalition announced last week that it would impeach him, leading to
the current negotiations. But there is disagreement over whether
Musharraf should stand trial for imposing emergency rule last year.
Musharraf's isolation has increased since his party allies lost
general elections in February. He's ruled the country since 1999,
when a coup brought him to power.
