In connection with the ongoing military-political instability in the Middle East, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan strongly advises its citizens to leave this region and not to plan trips here until the situation stabilizes.
According to the latest data, the safest route for leaving the conflict zone passes through Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
