According to the expert, the issue of Aydarbekov's mandate raises concerns about the rule of law and the stability of institutions.
Zainidin Kurmanov, a historian and former speaker of parliament, expressed his opinion on the situation regarding the transfer of the mandate to Chingiz Aydarbekov, characterizing it as an important test for the maturity of state institutions.
Kurmanov noted that Aydarbekov was supposed to become a deputy according to the lists after the previous representative's departure; however, the Central Election Commission has not yet made an official decision, failing to explain the reasons for the delay.
Chingiz Aydarbekov is not only an experienced deputy but also the grandson of Imanalay Aydarbekov, one of the founders of Kyrgyz statehood, who was repressed in 1938. He has also held the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan and worked as an ambassador, highlighting his diplomatic experience.
In his speech, Kurmanov emphasized that Kyrgyzstan has a long history of forming as a society with traditions of popular representation and limited power. He mentioned historical figures such as Abdykerim Sydykov, Ishehnaly Arabayev, Jusup Abdrakhmanov, and Abdykadir Orozbekov, who played key roles in the establishment of statehood.
According to Kurmanov, deviating from these principles has already led to political crises, which contradicts the existing political culture of the country.
He highlighted that the situation with Aydarbekov's mandate goes beyond an individual case and calls into question the maturity of state institutions. Ignoring legal norms at a high level, in his opinion, undermines public trust and weakens the state's ability to respond adequately to the challenges of the time.
