During the discussion of amendments to the law on sports and physical culture, he displayed an image of the snow leopard intended for keychains and asked the question: "What kind of animal is this?"
According to the deputy, the snow leopard is a totemic animal that holds significant importance for the Kyrgyz people. "We hold 'Ak Ilbirs' festivals, and the history of the people is closely linked to this predator, which should look intimidating. I ask you to reconsider this design," he added.
In response, Asanbaev promised to clarify the information.
