MPs are considering an agreement with Uzbekistan on separate sections of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek state border and joint management of Kempir-Abad reservoir. The meeting is attended by the President of Kyrgyzstan.
Sadyr Japarov commented on the incident that took place at a meeting of the parliamentary committee on international affairs, defense and security. Recall, five deputies left the meeting without voting for the committee’s decision.
MPs shouldn’t do that, the president said.
«There is no need to be a populist, to try to disrupt the quorum by leaving the meeting... You shouldn’t do that when the fate of the state is being determined. You can be in opposition to the government, but you should not be in opposition to the state. I ask you for this. Many ordinary citizens are shouting because they do not understand the issue without seeing the documents. You see everything, you have archival documents. No matter how much they shout or oppose it, it would be good if you first studied this issue, understood that this is a beneficial agreement, and made a responsible decision. The people chose you because they believe that you will decide the fate of the country,» Sadyr Japarov said.
He urged the deputies not to be afraid and said that the government was on the right track.
«We are not giving away land, on the contrary, we are returning what was previously given away by previous rulers. Kamchybek Tashiev proved this by facts and archival documents. We are taking the right step, and history will give an assessment of the happening. Everything will remain archived. It is necessary to temporarily put your personal interests aside. It is not worth joining those who oppose, just because they are friends. Let’s think about the integrity of the country,» Sadyr Japarov added.
