We are not migrants and not migrant workers, we are all citizens of Kyrgyzstan and arrived in Novosibirsk for a short period, not for work. The First Deputy Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov lied, having promised that we will fly to Bishkek on April 11. We are ready to sue the government,» Irina Stepkicheva said.
