According to Japarov, such a quick decision ultimately could protect his friend.

Moreover, he added that under the name of Kamchybek Tashiev, people began to act, reaching out to parliament deputies and other influential figures, urging them to "join the general."
Japarov emphasized: "If I had not relieved Tashiev of his position, those who were acting in this direction could have spread such statements more actively. This would have contributed to a rift among civil servants and in society, which could have led to conflicts. Therefore, I made the decision to relieve him of his duties, as stability in the state is paramount for me."
