In Kyrgyzstan, citizens who contributed to the development of the republic were awarded.

The International Charitable Foundation for Science and Culture "Atatürk" held an award ceremony for Kyrgyz citizens who contributed to the development of interethnic harmony, production, medicine, education, and culture in the country in 2015.

- In our time, when the world is experiencing global crises and there is no consensus and peace, the "Atatürk" foundation considers it its duty to recognize the efforts of the best Kyrgyz citizens who help others live, smile, and feel valued in society, - explained Mudur USMANOV, the head of the Foundation. - Among them are various people. And President Almazbek Atambayev. He came during a difficult, fateful time for the country and the people when the treasury was empty. Bribery and corruption became entrenched in all areas of life, trust in the courts and other authorities fell, and people experienced a general disbelief and fatigue. It is easy to break. It is harder to build and restore. Not much time has passed to expect a lot, but the efforts of the head of state and positive changes are visible. The country is becoming increasingly recognizable in the world. And Osmonov Arstanbek, an honorary professor, director of secondary school No. 13. He is the best educator of the 21st century, an organizer of education and youth upbringing. A person with a capital letter. The Earth stands on such people. He always convinces his students: Kyrgyzstan is their homeland, hope, and support. Aralbay Duyshenaliev, an honorary professor, a well-known lawyer in the republic. If Duyshenaliev takes on a case, justice will prevail. He is an honest and decent person. A strong lawyer! And Turdukan Koulambaeva, who was recently awarded the title of "Honorary Professor," head of a rural medical point, a physician of the highest category. Diligent in her work, sensitive, responsive. The whole village loves her for this.

Media outlets were also recognized for their work in strengthening interethnic harmony and stability in the republic. The best among Kyrgyz radio and television projects in this area was recognized as the resource "Birinchi Radio," while the weekly "Arguments and Facts-Kyrgyzstan," "Evening Bishkek," "Chui News," and "Dela No." were noted among newspapers. A number of media outlets operating in the republics of Central and South Asia were also rewarded for similar activities.
