Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev commented on the possible participation of Kyrgyz military in .

According to him, during the talks with Vladimir Putin, this issue wasn’t discussed at all and added that there are «guys in Bishkek who need to fabricate something and make a scandal.»

«This is not an easy thing. If this issue is really discussed, then a unanimous decision of all the CSTO countries is needed, the UN resolution. And you know how they take all the initiatives of , they try to block them. In addition, all this is decided by the country’s parliament. If someday, probably, no longer under my presidency, such a question will arise, then should send non-regular units and troops. If there are willing military personnel who want to gain experience, I think it’s possible," Almazbek Atambayev said.

«In any case, we haven’t discussed this issue now. I was very surprised when one began to exaggerate it," he added.
