The head of state's statements regarding potential threats to national security are based on verified information. According to presidential advisor Marat Imankulov, if the president issues such warnings, it means there is reliable data from intelligence and security agencies.
Risks of interethnic conflicts
Imankulov, who previously served as the Secretary of the Security Council of Kyrgyzstan, emphasized that interethnic provocations aim to destabilize the situation. He noted that such actions could be linked not only to attempts to disrupt presidential elections but also to intentions to derail the development of the entire Central Asian region and damage major infrastructure projects.
"If the president has made such a statement, it means he has not just information, but data confirmed by intelligence and security services."
Drawing on his experience in normalizing the situation following the conflicts of 1990 and 2010, Imankulov warned that ordinary citizens suffer most from such clashes. He compared the consequences of such provocations to a civil war in which there are no winners, adding that the state is currently working preemptively.
According to the advisor, those developing destabilization plans may count on support from international extremist and terrorist organizations.
