The situation with low demand for A-80 gasoline and diesel in the country did not prevent companies associated with the Tashiev family from continuing to sell this product to two major oil traders, effectively forcing them to make purchases.
As a result of pressure from sellers, the oil traders began mixing A-80 gasoline and diesel with higher quality fuel imported from Russia, and only after that sold it to the population. This was reported on social media by Daiyrbek Orunbekov.
The oil extraction enterprise "Kyrgyzneftegaz" began its operations in 1952 and was established in the 1950s. During the Soviet period, all extracted oil was sent to Uzbekistan for refining into gasoline and diesel. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, these supplies ceased, and Kyrgyzstan faced the problem of lacking its own oil refinery, which limited production volumes.
In 1996, a subsidiary called "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" was established, which began refining oil within the country. Nevertheless, due to outdated equipment, the plant could only produce A-80 gasoline and diesel fuel.
After joining the Customs Union, Kyrgyzstan began receiving fuel of European standards (A-92, A-95, A-98), mainly imported from Russia. This led to a decrease in demand for local products, including A-80 gasoline.
Since 2021, control over "Kyrgyzneftegaz" and its subsidiary "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" has been exercised through Kamchybek Tashiev. During this time, his nephew Baigazy Matisakov took the position of the head of the enterprise. According to the Tax Service, a corruption scheme was created during this period, leading to significant financial losses.
The essence of the scheme is as follows: oil extracted by "Kyrgyzneftegaz" was supposed to be processed at the "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" plant, and the profits from the sale of petroleum products were to go to the state budget. However, private intermediaries linked to the Tashiev family were introduced between these state enterprises, which effectively allowed them to bypass the law.
The finished products were then sold through companies affiliated with the Tashiev family, and the main profits did not go to the budget but to private structures.
The situation with low demand for A-80 gasoline and diesel within the country continued to persist; however, companies associated with the Tashiev family continued to sell this product to two major oil traders.
Under pressure from supplies, buyers mixed A-80 gasoline and diesel with higher quality fuel, which in the professional circles of oil traders was referred to as "shakar."
After Kamchybek Tashiev left his position, purchases of A-80 gasoline and diesel by these companies ceased, leading to significant stockpiles at the "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" warehouses.
In this regard, the government temporarily allowed the export of local fuel. A-80 gasoline and diesel produced at the "Junda" and "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" plants will be supplied to Tajikistan and Afghanistan. At the same time, fuel of European standards from Russia is banned from export.
Currently, the modernization process of "Kyrgyz Petroleum Company" is underway, which is planned to be completed within two years. After modernization, the plant will be able to produce fuel of European standards and meet the domestic needs of the country.

The record states that companies associated with the Tashiev family forced oil traders to buy A-80 gasoline. Details were revealed for the first time by the Presidential Administration, as reported by K-News.
