On March 24, President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov addressed his compatriots on the occasion of the next anniversary of the March 2005 events.
This was reported by the press service of the Kyrgyz leader.
“Today marks the 18th anniversary of the March People’s Revolution, one of the most significant events in the recent history of our country. After declaring their independence, the Kyrgyz people repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to freedom to the world, and during the March revolution they once again confirmed before history that the people are the only source of power,” he said.
According to Japarov, it is necessary to draw lessons from the significant events that took place during the years of independence of Kyrgyzstan and marked a turning point in the history of development. “At a time when new challenges arise in the world, dictated by the geopolitical situation and economic difficulties, we continue to rely on our spiritual values inherited from our ancestors and on our cohesion. Thanks to harmony and stability in the country, we will strengthen our economy and advance along the path of national development,” he said.
The events of March 24, 2005 remained in the history of Kyrgyzstan as the March or “Tulip” revolution. After the March revolution, President Askar Akaev, who ruled the country for 15 years, was overthrown.
