Earlier, three more people were detained — Bekbolot Talgarbekov, Emilbek Uzakbaev, and former deputy Kurmanbek Dyikanbaev. The signing of the appeal caused a public outcry and was actively discussed on social media. It was published on February 9, and by February 10, President Japarov dismissed Kamchybek Tashiev, his close associate, from the position of head of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB). Deputy Prime Minister Edil Baisalov and presidential press secretary Askat Alagozov accused the authors of the letter of attempting to create a rift between Japarov and Tashiev.
The signatories of the letter expressed concern regarding the ongoing discussions about the date of the presidential elections. This is related to the operation of two constitutional norms: the old Constitution, under which the current president was elected, and the new one, under which state power functions.
They proposed to President Japarov to immediately initiate elections for a new team so that it could continue important affairs and address existing problems.
