The deputy of the Parliament Asylbek Jeenbekov must make the right decision. SDPK Chairman Almazbek Atambayev announced today at a press conference.

The former president noted the merits of Asylbek Jeenbekov before the party.

«Asylbek Jeenbekov is a good guy. But when his brother is a president, and he is sitting in the Parliament — it’s not very good,» Almazbek Atambayev said.

The brother of the president of Kyrgyzstan must abandon his deputy mandate. Sooronbai Jeenbekov should not allow the return of nepotism in power. Member of SDPK party, Chairman of Aikol Ala-Too NGO, Meerbek Miskenbayev said this on March 17 at a rally in memory of victims of Aksy events.

Meerbek Miskenbayev was not elected a delegate to today’s SDPK congress.
