In Kyrgyzstan, it is necessary to tighten criminal liability for terrorism.
The political and public figure proposed organizing an international conference-meeting "Dialogue of Civilizations," where all confessions would be represented, and could discuss ways to dialogue and cooperation against terrorism, regional and global threats. Western countries should also be involved in the discussion to reconsider not only the methods of combating security threats but also to ensure a different assessment of events in Syria.
- You all remember that when there was an invasion of the sovereignty of a particular state, it was initially done under the guise of fighting against human rights violations. Soon another justification was invented – "there is no democracy there, we will establish and develop it." Now there is a third method being implemented in the Middle Eastern conflict: "Bashar Assad has created such a system of governance that we will not be able to successfully implement democratic transformations!" In the first case, the tools were the "Red Brigades" and the Khmer Rouge, then – "Al-Qaeda," - Mamytov reminded. - Now it is ISIS. I am against this term. There is no such "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" on the world map: it has not been recognized by either the world community or the UN. By using this name, we cast a shadow on the religion of Islam! Ramzan Kadyrov gave it a fitting definition: "Iblis's state," in Kyrgyz – "Shaytanistan." They themselves call themselves DAESH. We must fight against DAESH and not use the definitions "Islamic State": there is no Islam there! Otherwise, there is a danger of a conceptual threat – a military conflict that will require the intervention of the armed forces of other states to help stop it. What is happening in Arab countries will happen here and in any country in the Fergana Valley. Historically, this is a vulnerable area for band formations in Russia and neighboring states, as we experienced in 1999-2000. There is a danger of interference in state affairs through the intelligence networks of other states, covered by international organizations, and the creation of a number of measures to establish economic and financial dependence. This has already been done with Russia, the Middle East, South Korea, and Belarus… The same danger persists for Kyrgyzstan.
In addition to dialogue with other countries, the republic needs two more things to ensure its security. Firstly, a reform of the Criminal Code.
- We do not understand what globalization, terror, and terrorism mean at the legislative level. We only have an article in the Criminal Code "Terrorism," but there are no definitions for the words "terrorist act," "terror," and punishment for them. If they existed, for example, both teams of the first two presidents who carried out intimidation actions against their people would be in custody. Then we would have the right to demand, for example, the extradition of our fugitives from Alexander Lukashenko. Then it would be possible to more successfully protect national security, - believes Mamytov.
Secondly, the ideological system, on which any state relies, also needs reform. The Kyrgyz Republic has none; the isolated slogans like "Kyrgyzstan is our common home" are perceived by the citizens of the republic only with a smirk. The development of the system should be the responsibility of the state and parliament; however, elected representatives are often burdened only with caring for their own pockets and interests, lacking concern for their fellow citizens or intelligence.
- In the West, there are two powerful ideological branches: neoliberalism and neoconservatism. And we have no ideology, and this void has been filled by former tractor drivers and marginalized individuals who have suddenly become mullahs and started teaching people. During revolutions, this uncultured layer always bubbles to the surface! As for the state system – it is a machine. Which needs to be created and given a good driver. There are officials, but there are no good drivers. We say that national ideas and strategies should be developed by the elite. I can name six people who would fit this definition, who have a conscience, know where the country's weaknesses and strengths might be, and live for the interests of the state and the people – three elders, youth, and that’s it! For a population of almost 6 million, this is very few! We will not be able to create such a system of public administration, while Bashar Assad has been able to. Other countries have too. Recently, Belgium lived for a year without a government, and no one took to the streets in outrage about why heating was not turned on, for example. The absence of officials went unnoticed – there is a functioning system of the state machine there. But if we do not have a government – everything will collapse: fuel and feed will not be delivered, salaries will stop being paid, water will be turned off… And people will take to the streets for protests the very next day! We have rebels, revolutionaries, but no smart people. Therefore, I would propose that any official or candidate for public service be checked not for the presence of influential relatives or the amount of money, but for IQ, so that the result is no less than 100 points. Then there might be some results from their work, - hopes the former official.
