Interethnic peace is a matter of not only social harmony but also national and state security, former Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan Felix Kulov stated on his social media.
Investigating Funding Sources
According to Kulov, President Sadyr Japarov's public warning could not have been based solely on rumors. He suggested that behind the mention of "unscrupulous politicians" stand specific individuals whose intentions are already known to state authorities.
"It can be reasonably assumed that behind the words 'unscrupulous politicians' stand quite specific individuals, regarding whose intentions the relevant state authorities possess certain information"
In this regard, the former Prime Minister urged security forces to carry out preventive measures, specifically to investigate the connections and financial resources of those who may be behind the organization of riots.
Threat to Stability
Kulov recalled the consequences of the interethnic clashes of 1990 and 2010, which the country spent a long time overcoming. According to him, such provocations pose a direct threat to the constitutional order and the socio-political stability of the state.
