“We are obliged to follow the court's decision”
In his recent interview, Edil Baisalov, who holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister, commented on the public reaction to the decision to deprive Almazbek Atambayev of state awards.
Baisalov expressed surprise that the president's decree elicited such a wide public response. “This is not a personal decision by the president. We are obliged to execute the court's decision. There was no opportunity to not sign this document,” he emphasized.
Moreover, he reminded that the decision to strip Atambayev of his status as ex-president and all associated awards was made back in 2019, when the corresponding decision was issued by the Jogorku Kenesh.
