Unfounded rumors that appeared on social media about a possible return to the old name of the city of Manas in the Jalal-Abad region were refuted by the president's press secretary, Askhat Alagozov.

He clarified that the issue of renaming is not currently being discussed in any government bodies.

The city will retain its name — Manas, as has already been confirmed earlier.

Recall that in September of last year, Jalal-Abad was renamed Manas. At the session of the city council on September 3, Mayor Ernistbek Ormokov proposed to discuss the issue of changing the name, and a week later, the Jogorku Kenesh approved the corresponding bill.

President Sadyr Japarov signed the law on September 17, and on September 27, Jalal-Abad officially became Manas. The then head of the State Committee for National Security, Kamchybek Tashiev, mentioned that Manas could become the capital of Kyrgyzstan in the future.
