President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov has issued a stern warning regarding potential attempts to incite inter-ethnic conflict between the Kyrgyz and Uzbek peoples, aimed at disrupting the presidential election scheduled for January next year. The head of state called on both brotherly nations not to believe any provocative reports and to maintain peace.

Plans of politicians with "stones in their bosoms"

The President wrote on social media that unscrupulous politicians with "stones in their bosoms" are discussing plans to incite inter-ethnic conflict in the south of the republic. Such information has been received from a number of reliable sources.

According to Japarov, provocateurs are trying to artificially create disagreements by playing on people's emotions and spreading false rumors that offend national pride. Recalling the tragic events of 1990 and 2010, he emphasized that it was the children of ordinary families who suffered back then, while the organizers remained on the sidelines.
