The President of Kyrgyzstan called the influx of Russians a new phenomenon for the country
Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov touched upon the mass arrival of Russian citizens in the country in an interview with the American edition of The New York Times.
According to Zhaparov, for the first time Kyrgyzstan is facing such a new phenomenon as a massive influx of foreigners. Usually the Kirghiz themselves left the country in large numbers and mainly to Russia. For decades, citizens of Kyrgyzstan were considered people from a poor country, but now the situation has changed, the Kyrgyz president said. The attractiveness of Kyrgyzstan is growing.
Japarov also added that more than a million Kyrgyz live and work in Russia and that Russians can also live and work freely in Kyrgyzstan. In addition, President Zhaparov said that no one is going to extradite Russians who arrived in the country evading mobilization.
The President of Kyrgyzstan does not have exact information on the number of Russian citizens who entered the country after the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia, reports The New York Times.
The Kyrgyz leader believes that the influx of Russians will have a positive impact on the situation in the country, although this has led to an increase in housing prices. This can be explained by the fact that many Russians who fled the mobilization to Kyrgyzstan have a higher education and are good specialists, in particular, in the technological field.
According to the American scientist Jan Mutasevich, in Kyrgyzstan, which was afraid of the influx of Afghan refugees, they could not even think that immigrants from Russia would flood into the country.
