Bishkek’s Mayor about running for president in 2017

Bishkek Mayor Albek Ibraimov today at a press conference answered the question whether he would run for the president of the Kyrgyz Republic 2017.

Reporters noticed that Ibraimov enjoys Almazbek Atambayev's confidence. "If he provides you with high confidence and offer to run for the presidency, will you agree?" the mayor was asked.

"I don't think that the president will offer it. There will be many wishing to running for the presidency. I haven't even thought of it. I don't have time for such things," Albek Ibraimov said.
