"In light of recent events, I consider it important to note: I do not serve one or two individuals; I serve the state and the people. I have decided to resign voluntarily," he stated.

According to Turgunbek uulu, he will continue working as a member of parliament.

"I want to emphasize that I have never worked for one or two people; I have always acted in the interests of the country and the Kyrgyz people. Throughout this time, I have contributed to making important and necessary decisions. I am not going anywhere; I will work as a deputy. We must learn to work without intrigues to preserve political stability," he stressed.

The speaker also reported that a parliamentary delegation recently returned from Turkey, where a productive working visit took place.

Earlier, media reports suggested the possible resignation of the Jogorku Kenesh head after his return from Turkey. These reports emerged against the backdrop of the resignation of State Committee for National Security head Kamchybek Tashiev.
