Recent rumors on social media that the city of Manas in the Jalal-Abad region is set to revert to its previous name are unfounded. The president's press secretary, Askat Alagozov, denied this information.

He emphasized that the issue of renaming the city has not been raised or discussed in government bodies.

According to him, Manas will retain its current name.

We remind you that in September of last year, Jalal-Abad was renamed Manas. At the city council session on September 3, Mayor Ernistbek Ormokov proposed considering the possibility of renaming, and a week later, the Jogorku Kenesh approved the corresponding bill.

President Sadyr Japarov signed the law on September 17, and on September 27, Jalal-Abad officially became Manas. The then head of the State National Security Committee, Kamchybek Tashiev, did not rule out that Manas could become the capital of Kyrgyzstan in the future.
