President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov made a statement on the situation in the country.
He noted that due to the exorbitant ambitions of some politicians, the peaceful life of Kyrgyzstanis and the tranquility in the country are threatened. »Along with political ones, there were also provocative calls undermining the unity of the country and the peaceful life of society. Kyrgyzstan is on the edge of danger,” Sooronbai Jeenbekov said.
The peaceful life of our citizens should not be sacrificed to political passions. That is why a state of emergency has been imposed on the capital of the country - Bishkek.
