In practice, this may mean the closure of the International University "Ataturk Ala-Too" and more than 20 educational institution "Sebat" spreading the ideas of gülen in the country. In Kyrgyzstan, almost for the first time in the history of diplomatic relations of the foreign Ministry sharply enough responded to the offer of their foreign colleagues, noting in the return statement that Kyrgyzstan is a sovereign state, "which is itself in a position to understand and decide what is good and what is bad." The Turkish side called "incorrect", because of the desire of the foreign Minister Mr. çavuşoğlu "to indicate to another state on the need to take certain actions, and in the language of ultimatums and blackmail." Also it was noted that the appeal of the Turkish side regarding acting on the territory of Kyrgyz Republic private Turkish educational institutions received and carefully studied. If necessary, will be taken "adequate and timely measures," however, the question of staying on the Kyrgyz territory agencies under secret or explicit patronage of Fethullah Gulen, according to the Ministry of foreign Affairs KR – "exclusively an internal affair of the state."
