During an awards ceremony for culture workers in Bishkek, singer Azat Raimberdiev received the honorary badge "Madaniityn Mykty Kyzmatkeri" (Honorable Worker of Culture). After thanking the Ministry of Culture for the award, Raimberdiev highlighted the need for greater support within the cultural sector.

Culture as the Face of the Nation

Raimberdiev stated that while attention often seems focused on sports, culture stands on equal footing with it. He asserted that culture represents the face of the people and the core of the nation.

It sometimes gives the impression that more attention is paid to sports in the country. However, culture is on par with sports. Because culture is the face of our people, the core of the nation.
