He noted that the issue of Aydarbekov's mandate raises problems of law enforcement and the stability of institutions
Zainidin Kurmanov, a historian and former speaker of parliament, commented on the current situation regarding the transfer of the deputy mandate of Chingiz Aydarbekov, emphasizing that this could become an important test for the maturity of state institutions in the country.
Kurmanov noted that Aydarbekov should have taken the mandate, following the list of candidates after the departure of the previous deputy. However, the Central Election Commission has not made a decision on this matter, and the reasons for the delay remain unclear.
Aydarbekov, who has previously served as a deputy in parliament, received positive feedback from experts and observers for his independent and professional stance.
Additionally, he is the grandson of Imanalay Aydarbekov — one of the founders of Kyrgyz statehood, who became a victim of repression in 1938. Aydarbekov himself has experience in high positions, including serving as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ambassador of Kyrgyzstan.
In his comments, Kurmanov emphasized that Kyrgyzstan has historically developed as a society with stable traditions of representation and limited power. He recalled significant figures such as Abdykerim Sydykov, Ishenaly Arabayev, Jusup Abdrakhmanov, and Abdykadir Orozbekov, who were at the origins of Kyrgyz statehood.
According to the historian, deviation from these fundamental principles has already led to political crises, which contradicts the political culture of the country.
Kurmanov also noted that the issue of Aydarbekov's mandate goes beyond a private case and touches on broader problems of the maturity of state institutions. He warned that ignoring legal norms at a high level could undermine public trust and weaken the state's ability to respond to modern challenges.
