The former president of Kyrgyzstan, known for his disdainful attitude towards the parliament, is once again behaving in a manner unbefitting his status. He is dragging his own children into his "snotty" games and seems to be risking criminal prosecution.
As one of the fleeing presidents, Atambayev continues to consider himself an active participant in the Kyrgyz political scene. He actively comments on events in his homeland and dispenses advice to those trying to pull the country out of the crisis he himself has caused.
From Spain, where he currently resides, "Terminator" Almazbek Sharshenovich analyzes the actions of the current authorities and writes critical articles about them. He claims that only he was capable of managing the country, leaving it in a "prosperous" state, while today's leaders, in his opinion, are unable to handle governance.
His statement about "fair elections" is amusing, hinting that during his presidency everything was transparent. However, he believes that the current authorities do not meet this standard.
While society may have forgotten his remarks about the habit of Kyrgyz people to accept bribes, it is important not to forget the elections when his supporters acted according to his own mechanisms: bribery, ballot stuffing, and pressure on voters.
In 2017, Atambayev effectively "buried" the political ambitions of Omurbek Babanov, who was the favorite in the elections. Unexpectedly, Babanov found himself in the shadows, while Sooronbay Jeenbekov rose to the political pedestal, which became a complete mystery.
In response to Atambayev's criticism, Babanov reminded him of those events when administrative resources were used to support only one side, while opponents faced pressure. He noted that votes and the hopes of hundreds of thousands of citizens were stolen back then.
Considering this, Babanov did not express dissatisfaction regarding his defeat and left the country, but later returned when Atambayev began to show activity again.
Unlike Atambayev, Babanov demonstrates patriotism and supports a course aimed at unity and development of the country.
While Atambayev uses the "divide and conquer" method, Babanov calls for stability and order, asserting that the fate of the state is more important than personal ambitions.
Atambayev responded to Babanov again through his son, claiming that his father allegedly supported Babanov. This acknowledgment was unexpected and quite dubious, indicating possible violations during the 2017 elections.
Thus, Kadyrov Atambayev failed to "punish" Babanov, and he himself found himself in an unfavorable position. In short, chymkyrik.
