During a brief cultural program, Putin showed interest in the instrument, and one of his accompanying aides explained what kind of musical instrument it was. He also suggested that one of the musicians demonstrate how to play the komuz. After that, Putin took the instrument in his hands and attempted to repeat the melody.
It should be noted that Vladimir Putin is in Kyrgyzstan for a state visit, which includes participation in a session of the Collective Security Council of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, scheduled for November 28 in Bishkek.
