The height of the Issyk-Kul Lake is 1800 meters above sea level and its depth is 700 meters. The difference between its height and depth is 1100 meters. It implies that the bottom of the Issyk-Kul Lake is approximately situated on the height of 1100 meters above sea level. Now let’s draw a line from Bishkek (that is about 700-900 meters about sea level) toward the bottom of Issyk-Kul. It (далее…)
Several days ago I went through the technical inspection. They even did not look at the car, just told me: “200 soms (4 Euro)”, and this is it. Oh, and some more, they made me to circle around with papers. This is an absolute cynicism and obscurantism. Since April 7th I have been stopped five times by traffic cops. There was just one time for speeding, which happened under the overpass along the Sovetskay street right next (далее…)
 Issyk Kul |
From Bishkek the lake is approached through Boom Gorge, and it is possible to cut into the mountains here to the Chon Kemin valley.
The lake lies at the bottom of a drainage hollow, or depression and has no outflow.
Mountains ring the lake and there are several valleys worth visiting, Gregorievka and Simeonevka on the North, Barskoon on the South and numerous others around Karakol. To the North are the Kungei (“Sunny”) Ala-Too mountains and are criss-crossed by trekking routes including ones that connect the lake with Almaty – while to the South lie the Teskei (“Shady”) Ala- Too mountains. These mountain ranges protect the Issyk Kul hollow from winds bringing either extreme cold – or extremly hot – winds.
Issyk Kul is Kyrgyzstan ‘s largest Lake and at about 180 km long by 70 km wide and 668 meters deep at the deepest point, (the average depth is about 300 meters ), (далее…)
In general the results of Kyrgyz referendum, that took place on June 27, 2010, evoke trust. However, 51 per cent of electors, who voted in Osh, seem to be doctored records. It does not sound feasible that in the (далее…)
1. The Naryn River, which is known as Syrdariya in Uzbekistan. Naryn-Syrrdariya is one of the major water power resources in Asia. There is a problem though. Series of hydroelectric power stations with artificial reservoirs are placed on the river. In the case of explosion of any hydroelectric dam an irretrievable catastrophe may happen by flooding lower part of the Fergana (далее…)

The Naryn River’s working and building hydropower plants are there in the white blocks. The Naryn originates at Kyrgyzstan (depicted in yellow on the map) and flows through Uzbekistan (black area) where it is called the Syrdariya River. The red line is a Central Asian energy loop, which unites the largest power stations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. In the loop the Toktogul hydropower plant functions as a regulator of power and frequency. (далее…)
Russia and Uzbekistan gain from it. This is the only way they can provoke an occupation in any form to take under their control water power resources of the Kyrgyz Republic. In Tashkent there is a planning Institution Tashgidroproekt where all Kyrgyz hydropower plants, dams and reservoirs had been designed. It has overall and detailed information regarding the water reserves.
In fact the population of the Fergana valley is not homogeneous. Everyone had been registered as Uzbek by origin; however most of them sprang from Kyrgyz and Kypchaks. Despite the record in their passports, the Fergana valley inhabitants due to their heterogeneity constitute the potential menace to the Uzbekictan’s authorities. Suffice it to mention the Andijan events and Ahmatjan Adylov, who has have being in prison for almost twenty years. There is a version that he originates from Kyrgyzstan.
