Kyrgyzstan: Political System
Kyrgyzstan is a parliamentary democracy. At the head of the state is a
president who is directly elected by the people every 5 years. You can be
re-elected as often as you like. The parliament is a unicameral system that is
elected every 5 years. There are currently 75 MPs. In principle there are only
three significant political parties in the country. The country is, however,
governed by a strong presidency, although there are hardly any major tensions or
conflicts in the country. It is on the way from a planned economy to a social
market economy. According to official announcements, unemployment is around 20%
- although this is only recorded in cities. Statistics for the rural areas are
still missing today.

Elibizdin zhany menen barabar,
Sansyz kyldym Ala-Toosun mekendep,
Saktap kaldy bizdin ata-babalar!
Algaí ber, kyrgyz el,

Örkündöí ber, ösö ber,
Öz tagdyrdyn kolunda!
Baíyrtadan bütkön münöz elime,
Dostoruna daíar dilin berüügö,
Bul yntymak el birdigin shiretip,
Beíkuttuktu beret kyrgyz zherine.
Atkarylyp eldin ümüt, tilegi,
Zhelbiredi Erkindiktin zheligi,
Bizge zhetken ata saltyn murasyn,
Yíyk saktap urpaktarga bereli! |
And in the English translation
| High mountains, valleys and fields
are our sacred homeland.
Our fathers lived among the Ala-Toe,
always saving their homeland.
Stand up, Kyrgyz people,
stand up for freedom!
Get up and blossom!
Shape your happiness!
We are open to freedom for eternity.
Friendship and unity are in our hearts.
The country of the Kyrgyz, our homeland,
shines in the rays of consent.
People's dreams have come true
and the flag of freedom flies over us.
We will
pass on the inheritance of our fathers to our sons for the benefit of
people. |
