During communication with the population of the Issyk-Kul region, one of the retirees appealed to the head of state, calling for strengthened countermeasures against organized crime groups. For their part, military veterans expressed their readiness to provide assistance in this matter.
Changing the country's image
According to the president, Kyrgyzstan's international image has changed significantly in recent years. While the information space was previously dominated by news of protests and crime, the focus has now shifted to economic development, sporting achievements, and tourism.
The head of state emphasized that appropriate tasks have already been given to all relevant services. Sadyr Japarov also touched upon the social aspect, recalling former values when children could name criminal statuses as their future professions.
"When schoolchildren were asked before what they wanted to become, they would answer: a thief-in-law, a 'smotryashchiy' (overseer), or a 'polozhenets' (appointee). This will not happen again!"
