Foreign Affairs Minister of Kyrgyzstan Ruslan Kazakbaev spoke on the phone with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. Press service of the Foreign Ministry reported.

The heads of the foreign ministries discussed topical issues on the agenda of Kyrgyz-Russian relations, exchanged views on international and regional issues, taking into account the aggravation of the military-political situation in Afghanistan, as well as the possibility of evacuation of citizens in case of further aggravation of the situation.

They also touched upon the incident in Bishkek, when a drunk man attacked one of the employees of SMagic amusement hall.

Ruslan Kazakbaev said that the Kyrgyz side condemns all cases of aggression based on nationalism. Such actions, which may occur in Kyrgyzstan and in Russia, regardless of persons who committed them, should be assessed accordingly and the necessary measures should be taken.

“Unfortunately, some deputies of the State Duma proposed, as one of the response measures to this incident, to prohibit entry into Russia for persons who allowed themselves such actions. Such statements by some Russian politicians should not affect mutual trips of citizens of the two countries,” the minister said.
