The Ministry of Culture will hold a competition for the best project
The initiative to install a copy of the world map created in the 11th century by the famous scholar Mahmud Kashgari-Barskani was proposed by State Secretary Arslan Koichiev. This was reported by the press service of the President's Administration.
On this historical map, which dates back to the era of the Islamic Renaissance in Central Asia, Issyk-Kul is marked as the center of the world.
The project will be part of the events dedicated to the 1000th anniversary of the birth of Mahmud Kashgari-Barskani and will be implemented in Bishkek.
The Ministry of Culture will select projects on a competitive basis to realize this idea.
