In 2019, employees of the Institute of Historical Research of China announced to the Kyrgyz side about the discovery of archival materials, which indicate that the Kyrgyz lived in the 10th century BC. e. and even then they had their own state. Presidential spokesman Erbol Sultanbaev announced on Facebook.
«The writings of the Chinese historian Yu Taishan tell not only about the statehood of the Kyrgyz, but also about building international relations with the big states of that time. Due to the lack of financial resources, these materials have not yet been studied and translated in detail. In this regard, the Chairman of the Board of Muras Foundation, Kiyas Moldokasymov, turned to President Sadyr Japarov with a request to provide support in financing the translation of 10,000 pages of archival documents from ancient Chinese into modern Chinese, and then into Kyrgyz,» he wrote.
According to him, attaching great historical significance to this, the head of state instructed to allocate 13 million soms from the presidential fund for these purposes.
