The proposed options were rejected — the new anthem must be accessible and easy to perform.
At a parliamentary meeting, the Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh, Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu, shared his thoughts on what the new anthem of Kyrgyzstan should be like. Within one of the parliamentary committees, new versions of the anthem, including lyrics and music, were presented, but they were all rejected.
The Speaker emphasized that the main goal of the deputies is not only to change the anthem but also to create a truly worthy piece that every citizen can perform.
“Our task is not just to replace the anthem, but to create one that is suitable for both children and the elderly. In the next competition, I would like to address the authors: most of the lyrics are written in a march style. This is not the format that suits everyone. We need to move away from the march and write in a more accessible way, like in ‘Mekenim Meykin’ or ‘Kyrgyz Jeri’. Then the anthem will be sung not only at official events but also at celebrations,” noted Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu.
It is worth reminding that the initiative to change the national anthem came from the Speaker of the Jogorku Kenesh himself. After that, a competition was announced to create new lyrics and music for the anthem of Kyrgyzstan. Work in this direction continues, and the competition will be repeated taking into account the feedback received.
