According to him, a designated area for such events in Bishkek is the Maxim Gorky Square.
“We are not against rallies and actions. The Maxim Gorky Square is always available for organizing such events; it is only necessary to notify the Bishkek city hall. No other permits are required. Some people mistakenly believe that rallies in the country are completely banned,” noted the head of state.
Furthermore, he emphasized that the slogans of the participants should align with the traditions and mentality of society.
“At the rally dedicated to International Women's Day, participants represented only 1 percent of citizens. One cannot speak on behalf of all 7.5 million residents of the country. The majority of citizens do not support such demands. If the overwhelming majority of the population shared the views expressed at the rallies, we would not be able to remain silent,” said Sadyr Japarov.
The president also added that it is inappropriate to take to the streets with such slogans and promote such ideas. “Such actions should be prohibited, as they do not align with our traditions and customs,” he concluded.
