President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov today, on September 19, made an appeal to the people of Kyrgyzstan in connection with the armed conflict from September 14 to 17, 2022.
Here is the text of the address of the Head of State:
«We constantly prove that we are a people of high dignity who value unity in any trouble. No one will be able to spoil this value of our nation as long as the blood of our Great Manas flows in our veins!
I express my deepest condolences to the families and friends of every soldier who died defending the Fatherland. Today, the people of Kyrgyzstan pay tribute to our heroic sons and thank them from the bottom of their hearts.
Having heard about the bloody conflict at the Batken border, every single citizen expressed that they were against such behavior by the invaders. Compatriots from all the regions of the republic, on their own initiative organize various kinds of aid to Batken. I adore such a unity of our people!
Dear Kyrgyzstani people, our ancestors always paid attention to every word spoken. Let’s deal properly with the provocative information battle spread on the Internet. „Malice is the enemy, mind is the friend, be reasonable!“. Don’t believe speculative, unreliable information and don’t fall into the traps of those who are stoking the fire. Let us not fall into the language of evil conspiracies and groundless slander of strategic partners, friendly countries, and sympathetic nations.
In such turbulent circumstances, I would like you to trust the information provided only by official bodies. Because nowadays, border security, information security — everything is under close scrutiny.
Another point, please be patient, young people who say they will go to Batken. The military capabilities of the state should not be considered as before. Thank God the situation in our army today is different. We have the strength and capabilities to fully respond to those who want to violate our borders. Proof of this is that those who invade our homeland’s borders have received an equal response. In general, please maintain domestic peace and support the efforts of state authorities and the armed forces.
Maybe our unity being strengthened! Do not forget that we are descendants of the Great Manas! Let the sky above our beloved Kyrgyzstan be open, let there always be peace in Batken region» ,-says Sadyr Japarov.
