In the past year, Kyrgyzstan saw itself became the stage of one of the world’s most bloody, dramatic conflicts. Protesters totally overthrow the government of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, causing him to abdicate. This was incited by rumors that Mr. Bakiyev was perhaps only still in his position because of election fraud. Furthermore, it was also alleged, and being tried currently, that he had ordered soldiers to fire on a crowd of protesters. The ugliest of circumstances led to one thing worth celebrating: Central Asia’s first truly democratic elections for a parliamentary government. This government may have begun to form just today, as three of the parties have joined together to form a coalition government.
First and foremost, the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to say that those passed are in our prayers, and that we give thanks to the Creator for bringing us to this critical point where reaching a new, improved, and stable Kyrgyzstan might be possible. This great nation is a meaningful trade ally of ours, and Iran only hopes to expand that relationship. Kyrgyzstan has called upon Iran for investment and technology, and as we look to them as brothers of the region and brothers under Allah, we look forward to obliging, given the proper mutual conditions are met. We are interested in doing whatever is necessary to maintain a peaceful situation where a popular government with true support works for the people.
This leads us to what we feel is the next essential point. Kyrgyzstan stands out within Central Asia as a nation of great promise. It can stand as an example of stability of government, depth of economy, and strength of security to all nations in the region. There is one thing standing in the way of that. This can never be if they allow the United States to keep their air base and effectively run the region from oversea, as they’re so fond of doing. We hope to illustrate to the great nation of Kyrgyzstan that it is in no way in their advantage, and in fact they are merely being used like so many others as a stepping stone the West’s scheme of virtual world domination. We offer this advice as a neighbor, friend, and brother of Kyrgyzstan. We ask that you consider with whom you have the most in common. Look to the nation that shares your most essential core beliefs. Look to the nation that refuses to sell the word of the Prophet for a buck. We believe that, along with Iran and other neighboring nations that have helped such as Russia, Kyrgyzstan can take this crisis and turn it into an opportunity. Do not let yourselves be blinded by the shimmering promises of the West; they are empty and self-serving.
The Islamic Republic of Iran could not be more excited to sit down with Kyrgyzstan and put on paper real steps to solidify the great work already done. Truly, fellow delegates, together we can achieve great things.
