According to the proposal, the following settlements will be classified as ayil:
• Bakai, Alty-Adyr, and Orto-Sai from the Batken district;
• Alymbek Datka from the Alay district of the Osh region;
• Ak-Bosogo, Birimdik, Dostuk, Zhashtyk, and Yntymak from the Aravan district;
• Balikchi from the Aitmato district of the Talas region.
The necessity of these changes is confirmed by decisions made at citizen assemblies, as well as decisions from ayil councils, district administrations, and the presidential representatives in these regions. On September 5, 2025, the interdepartmental commission on administrative-territorial structure and geographical names under the Cabinet of Ministers approved this issue.
The scientific conclusion of the National Academy of Sciences notes that the proposed names are already actively used by the local population and are firmly rooted in their daily lives. An environmental assessment also confirmed that changing the status will not pose a threat to the natural environment in the specified regions.
The population of the mentioned settlements ranges from 200 to 3,200 people, and the distance to the district centers varies from 2 to 75 kilometers.
The law will come into effect ten days after its official publication, provided it is approved by the parliament and signed by the president.
