Kyrgyzstan received all these aspects amongst 196 recommendations in the framework of the UPR Working Group’s meeting, which took place in early 2015. And we call on the government to work together in this direction to ensure proper attention to minority issues and prevent more critical consequences such as involvement of representatives of minorities in the radical groups ranks. We all know that the most developed countries are multinational and pay special attention to the representatives of different ethnic, religious and cultural groups. This is one of the key factors of the development of both the region and the entire state. I, as well as the representatives of minorities in all the countries, do not need anything more than having equal access to what is guaranteed under the international and national regulations, which were voluntarily adopted by the state. I feel very concerned about the development of my country. I am Uzbek, but first and foremost I am a citizen of Kyrgyzstan. I call on all governments not to treat minorities as a special group, but first and foremost, treat them as citizens of the country and to ensure equal opportunities and rights. Thank you.
