  • Social media users in Bishkek have criticized the use of quotation marks around “Düyşön Agay” on a covered monument to a teacher.
  • The monument stands opposite the Ministry of Education, but officials have not announced its formal opening date.

A monument to a teacher in Bishkek has drawn attention before its official unveiling because the inscription “Düyşön Agay” appears in quotation marks on the pedestal.

Facebook user Elmira Azhykanova said the quotation marks should be removed before the monument opens. She expressed concern that the wording could remain unchanged after the ceremony.

Other users agreed, arguing that Düyşön Agay is the name of the story's hero, not the title of the work, so quotation marks are unnecessary. The monument stands opposite the Ministry of Education and remains covered. No official opening date has been announced.
