The State Committee for National Security (GKNB) reported that five Azerbaijani citizens arrived in Kyrgyzstan on March 20th via the Ak-Jol - highway checkpoint. These individuals had come with the purpose of spreading and strengthening their criminal influence, including criminal ideology, as well as planning a particularly serious crime - a contract killing.
