Kyrgyzstan has announced its decision to contribute to the reconstruction efforts in Karabakh, aligning itself with the initiatives undertaken by Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. This statement was insight from political scientist Elkhan Sahinoglu to Ednews.

Sahinoglu highlighted Kyrgyzstan's burgeoning engagement with Azerbaijan, emphasizing the significance of President Sadir Japarov's recent visit to the country. He noted that this visit is expected to bolster cooperation between Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan while fostering greater integration among Turkic states. Sahinoglu pointed out that this diplomatic exchange follows a prior meeting between Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov and the President of Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek.

Central to the narrative of Turkic integration is the enduring alliance between Turkey and Azerbaijan. Sahinoglu observed a heightened interest in this alliance from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, despite their historically close ties with Moscow and Beijing. The decision by Bishkek and Tashkent to diversify their foreign and security policies underscores a strategic shift toward broader regional engagement.

Despite Kyrgyzstan's relative economic constraints compared to its neighbors, Sahinoglu emphasized the country's resolve to actively participate in the reconstruction efforts in Karabakh. In a tangible display of solidarity, Kyrgyzstan has committed to constructing a school building in the Khidirli village of Aghdam, aligning its actions with the proactive stance taken by Astana and Tashkent.
