President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov received Chairman of the World Ethnosport Confederation Bilal Erdogan, the press service of the head of state reported. An exchange of views took place on the preparations for the IV World Nomad Games in the Turkish city of Iznik, Bursa province, as well as the development of the World Nomad Games in the near future and the events planned under this initiative.
The head of state noted the readiness of the Kyrgyz side to assist in organizing and holding such a large-scale international event.
In turn, Bilal Erdogan expressed gratitude for the warm welcome and spoke about the history of the creation of the Confederation, noting that the Organization was created precisely thanks to the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan, as well as the work carried out by the Organizing Committee.
Bilal Erdogan said that the city of Iznik was chosen as the venue for the World Nomad Games not by chance. Firstly, the city is located on the shore of a lake, reminiscent of Issyk-Kul, and secondly, on its territory there is a Memorial to the memory of the Kyrgyz soldiers who fell in the battles for the capture of this city at the beginning of the second millennium AD.
The president of Kyrgyzstan wished success in preparing the event and confirmed the readiness of our country to take an active part in it.
Previously, the Games were planned to be held in the city of Bursa of the same name province, but in the fall of 2020 they were postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and later moved to the city of Iznik. – Kabar
