The question of the necessity of closing schools and blocking roads in connection with the summit.
According to Ulan Jumakov, the former head of the press service of the Bishkek City Police Department, the CSTO summit and the accompanying restrictions allowed students and teachers to rest a bit after the short autumn break. He expressed his opinion in an interview with Vesti.kg regarding the transition to distance learning in Bishkek due to the visit of the presidents of the member states of the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
“These measures are aimed at protecting the leaders who have arrived in the capital. In the current conditions, when the global situation remains tense, it is necessary to take additional measures to prevent possible provocations and threats, including attempts on the presidents,” he added.
Despite the efforts of the international community, conflicts continue to rage in various regions: between Russia and Ukraine, India and Pakistan, as well as in the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Tensions are also rising between China, Taiwan, Japan, and between the USA and Venezuela.
“International terrorist organizations are also active. Such issues will be on the agenda of the current CSTO meeting. Considering that the autumn break for schoolchildren lasted only three days, the arrival of the presidents allowed the children to relax a bit more,” Ulan Jumakov clarified.
It is important to note that on November 27, a meeting of the heads of CSTO states will take place in Bishkek, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has already arrived in the capital.
In this regard, restrictions have been imposed in the city: roads are blocked, and educational institutions have switched to online format.
For reference, this year the autumn break for schoolchildren lasted three days (not counting weekends), while the spring break will be even shorter – just one day.
