State Culture Agency Director dismissed from office

President of Kyrgyzstan signed an executive order to dismiss State Culture Agency Director, Sultan Raev.

The resignation paper reportedly does not contain a formulation - due to a transfer to another appointment.

As the news agency 24.kg previously reported, Kyrgyz parliamentarians were against the photo exhibition by infamous U.S. citizen Sergei Melnikoff, who often published anti-Russian slogans in his blogs.

“He made such slogans when he was abroad, where he has run to 22 years ago as a dissident. Moreover he a General’s son,” Raev said, answering parliamentarian’s questions.

The group leader Ulugbek Romanov’s reaction was indignant, therefore a person responsible for the Culture looks suspicious with such kind of explanations.

The White House reaction was immediate.
