LGBT Propaganda. The Kolfest Team Responded to the Criticism of the Deputy of the Housing Committee
The Kolfest festival, which has been active since 2019, is an international cultural event that combines music, contemporary art, and cultural projects. During its existence, it has attracted over 10,000 visitors from 30 countries and has become a platform for cultural exchange and the development of creative industries in Kyrgyzstan. The events are held on private property, and all activities comply with the country's legislation, the organizers emphasize.
According to festival representatives, they notify and cooperate with government agencies and security services in advance to ensure the safety of all participants and guests.
“Our team considers it important to strictly adhere to the laws of Kyrgyzstan, ensure the safety of participants and guests, as well as respect for the culture and traditions of the country. We are open to dialogue and ready to provide necessary information to both government agencies and the public. We are confident that truth and justice should come first, and ultimately, the public will know the truth,” the Kolfest organizers noted.
