The head of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Kyrgyzstan demanded a special status for Kyrgyz in Russia

The head of the Kyrgyz Chamber of Commerce and Industry Temir Sariev demanded a special status for Kyrgyz in Russia. He made the corresponding statement during his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which is taking place these days in St. Petersburg, reports IA 24.kg .

"We want Kyrgyzstan and the Kyrgyz people to have a special status in Russia. If we recall the Great Patriotic War, it was 28 Panfilovs who defended Moscow, and this was a turning point. And secondly, I want to emphasize this: when SMO began, the Kyrgyz Republic was the first to reach out and not be afraid. The rest then pulled up. This encourages Russia to consider The Kyrgyz Republic is the most reliable partner both in business and in politics. Reliability is a very rare, scarce thing," Sariev said.

He added that in difficult times Kyrgyzstan has always been with Russia.
