For many people Kyrgyz culture is first of all Chingiz Aytmatov, a writer, whose works combine traditional issues of life with contemporary ones. He has left an enormous literary heritage not only to the present generation, but also to the world history and next generations of readers.

Aytmatov’s works are well known and highly appreciated in Armenia; almost all of them are translated into Armenian.

On behalf of the Armenian people I extend condolences to Aytmatov’s family and the whole Kyrgyz people.”
