Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov has issued a stern warning, demanding severe punishment for individuals he labels as "enemies of the people." Japarov claims these individuals receive funding from external forces with the intent to destabilize the country and sow panic among the population.

We must severely punish the few enemies of the people among us, who, succumbing to the influence of external forces and receiving money from them, want to rock the country and sow panic among the population. There will be no mercy for them.

Speaking at a security briefing for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit and the VI World Nomad Games, Japarov declared, "We must severely punish the few enemies of the people among us... There will be no mercy for them." He stressed that "iron discipline" is the primary condition for the country's development and called for high professionalism and responsibility from security agencies.

In preparation for the international events, an operation named "Security" has been launched. Approximately 15,000 personnel from various law enforcement and security bodies, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Emergency Situations, Prosecutor's Office, Tax and Customs Services, Penitentiary Service, Border Service, and Judicial Department, are involved. Japarov instructed these forces to ensure the safety of citizens and foreign guests, prevent public order violations, and treat individuals politely while offering prompt assistance.

The main condition for the country's development is 'iron discipline.'
