President Sadyr Japarov, during a working trip to the Osh region, has launched the construction of a new village for the resettlement of residents from the Barak enclave. This significant event was announced by the state leader's press service.
This initiative holds historical importance for all Kyrgyzstanis, as the residents of Barak have faced serious difficulties due to partial isolation for many years.
Sadyr Japarov recalled that on November 3, 2022, an agreement was signed in Bishkek regarding the delimitation of certain sections of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek state border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. He emphasized that the resettlement of Barak residents to the new territory of Kyrgyzstan will be a crucial step towards improving their living conditions and stability.
According to the master plan, construction will commence on a 38-hectare area for the new village called Zhany-Barak. The plan includes providing 8 acres of land for the construction of residential houses for 164 citizens, building 101 new homes, and allocating plots to adult children of the new village's residents. It is planned that the construction of houses will be completed by August 31.
An integral part of the project is not only the construction of residential buildings but also the establishment of social infrastructure, including a school, a multi-story residential building, sports facilities, and a medical center, which will make the new village a fully developed and thriving place for its inhabitants.
President Japarov expressed gratitude to the Kyrgyz people who, since gaining independence, have not abandoned their native lands and have remained in Barak despite border problems.
He called on the residents of Zhany-Barak to work together for the development of their new community and emphasized that border villages are always in the spotlight of the country's leadership.
