Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov used his address to the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly to strongly criticize sanctions imposed on Kyrgyzstan, warning that they undermine the country’s development and stability, Trend reports. I have always stated and I repeat: Kyrgyzstan has strictly fulfilled and will continue to strictly fulfill its international obligations. The president contrasted the restrictions against Kyrgyz banks with the broader trade relations maintained by Western countries with Russia. At the same time, the United Kingdom, which imposed sanctions against two of our banks, traded with Russia in the amount of $2.2 billion. In this regard, we demand the lifting of sanctions against our two banks,” Japarov said.
