Mr. Sadyr Zhaparov to the people of the country

Dear Kyrgyzstanis!

Dear compatriots living far from their homeland, from the snowy peaks of Ala-Too!

Today, by the will of fate, I stand in front you, having signed the basic law – the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic!

I appeal to each of you, to all the sons and daughters of our people, from young to old!

We have witnessed events that threaten the territorial integrity and security of Kyrgyzstan. All necessary measures were taken to preserve peace and stability. I would like to express my deepest condolences to the families of the victims and those injured in these events.

Please honor the memory of the victims with a minute of silence!

I have already given an order to start rebuilding the destroyed villages as soon as possible.

Citizens affected by these events will receive the full support of the State.

In the shortest possible time, work will be carried out to restore and normalize the life of our citizens in the affected settlements.
