President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko helped Kyrgyzstan to repair a helicopter. The head of state Sadyr Japarov posted on Facebook, thanking his colleague.
He recalled that in 2016, Russia provided Kyrgyzstan with a helicopter MI-8MTV-1. It was used by the state for various purposes.

Specialists have managed to find out that the helicopter out of service, which has not been used for six years, can be repaired. We talked to them and thanks to the President of Belarus we made a major overhaul. Thus, the number of our helicopters has increased,» Sadyr Japarov posted.
