Kyrgyzstan is a republic about which many songs, poems, poems and, of course, legends are composed. “He sings as rain pours from the sky” is one of the winged expressions about the hero of Kyrgyz folklore. A small adage seems to carry an echo of the multinational Republic of Kyrgyzstan. These lands were sheltered by Uzbeks, Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Tatars, Germans, Jews and people of other nationalities.
Features of geographical location
Kyrgyzstan is a country that does not have access to the sea. If we consider the relief, then mountains prevail on its territory. The republic is among two large mountain systems. The first is the Tien Shan, it occupies most of the northeast side. The second - Pamir-Alai, surrounds Kyrgyzstan from the south-west. State borders pass just along the mountain ranges.
Capital
The proud and warlike capital of the country is Bishkek. It is the largest and most developed city in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. Bishkek is the first place you want to start exploring this hospitable region. The city owes its unusual name to the hero of Bishkek-Batyr, who has long lived in this area. Some scientists agree that the name comes from the word "bishkek", which means - a club, a stick. The well-being and beauty of the capital cannot but bear in itself an economic echo. Indeed, Kyrgyzstan is a republic that is far from typical of Asia.
Economy
After the division of the Union, the economy of the region reached a whole new level. If under the old regime the republic was a source of raw materials, now it is a country with well-developed market relations. Many industries are successfully developing here. Food industry, machine tool building, energy are all the “whales” on which the modern economy of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan is based. The currency introduced after the collapse of the USSR, thanks to this is significantly strengthened. She bears a rather poetic name - the Kyrgyz catfish. By the way, Kyrgyzstan is the first country to adopt its own national currency in post-Soviet Central Asia.
Education
If external affairs are gaining momentum and are going uphill, then everything is not so “smooth” in the internal structures of the republic. It's about education. Experts note that over the years, the quality of this industry is deteriorating, and with this flourishes:
- Corruption in higher educational institutions of the republic.
- The poor quality of teaching in schools.
- The incompetence of most teachers.
However, Kyrgyzstan is a republic that currently maintains close ties with many states. That is what can contribute to a change in the situation as a whole. Today, an agreement is functioning in the territory of Kyrgyzstan, according to which Russian, Turkish and even American universities are jointly created. Such events open up more places and opportunities for young people.
To summarize
Despite all the beauty and charms of the country, there are significant problems that require immediate intervention. Nevertheless, they can be bypassed, succumbing to the delights and horizons of the region. After all, Kyrgyzstan is a republic with a stunning culture, incredibly beautiful terrain and a friendly atmosphere inside the country, which has hosted up to 80 nationalities.
