Public opinion on the construction of Asman city is divided. The President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov said during the capsule laying ceremony for construction of the city.
According to him, there were those who criticized the plan to build a modern city on the shores of Issyk-Kul lake.
«There were those who were not afraid to contribute and supported the project. Part of the society said that the state did not have the opportunity to build a smart city, huge funds were needed for this, they wondered where the money would come from. They could not overcome the poverty syndrome and did not believe that the project would be implemented, they said that the authorities were entertaining themselves with empty hopes, and made premature conclusions,» Sadyr Japarov said.
The head of state added that not a single tyiyn was spent from the country’s budget on starting the construction of Asman. He noted that investors themselves are interested in participation in such large projects.
