57624Almazbek Atamboyev, the former leader of Kyrgyzstan who was released from prison yesterday, 14 February, held a press conference at his residence in the village of Koy-Tosh, where he discussed the management of the Kampirabad reservoir, and the resolution of border issues between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Speaking about this, he said that the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev had made a great contribution to the adoption of this document.
"This is a big step. "Relations with Uzbekistan are gratifying," Atamboyev said.
According to the document, it was necessary to provide reliable evidence to the representatives of the public who opposed the agreement on the Kampirabad water reservoir without arresting them.
"This is a historic decision. Fortunately, our neighbors have President Mirziyoyev, not Karimov. I know Mirziyoyev's attitude towards Kyrgyzstan and the people of Kyrgyzstan. This should be appreciated," says Atamboyev.
According to the agreement signed by the Presidents of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Sadir Japarov on January 27 of this year, the borderline with a total length of 302.29 kilometers, including 35 sections of the Uzbekistan-Kyrgyz State border are marked. Also, Uzbekistan will receive 4,957 hectares of the Andijan (Kampirabad) reservoir and an additional 19.5 hectares for the maintenance and protection of the dam. Kyrgyzstan will receive 1,019 hectares of pasture as compensation.
The Uzbek side will maintain the water level in the reservoir at a level of no more than 900 meters, ensuring the free use of resources by the Kyrgyz people (watering, irrigation, fishing), and engineering and technical facilities around the reservoir.
The Kyrgyz side undertakes to establish water protection zones and ensure compliance with the water use regime.
