The Kyrgyz leader stated this in an interview with the state news agency Kabar.

"It will be good if we change this," he said. According to him, the current anthem of the republic was adopted 33 years ago and since then Kyrgyzstan has "fully formed as a state."

Now is the time, Japarov continued, to write a new anthem that "will inspire young people and future generations." At the same time, he recalled that Kyrgyzstan is an independent state "with a five-thousand-year history." "Of course, our current anthem will not be forgotten. As our first anthem, it will remain history in the archives," the president noted.

The Speaker of the Kyrgyz parliament took the initiative to replace the national anthem a few days ago during a solemn meeting on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the country's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, reports tass.ru.
