About Kyrgyzstan

History of Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan's history spans the periods from ancient petroglyphs to the Great Silk Road, from the Soviet Union to the country's independence. Kyrgyzstan has long been a historically important point in the center of Asia, as it was located at the confluence of trade routes and empires. Situated right between the Chinese, Persian, Arabic, Indian, Turkic, and Russian empires, the land that forms Kyrgyzstan today has changed the history of many peoples, religions, cultures, and travelers.

The Culture of the Kyrgyz People

Traditional culture in Kyrgyzstan is a very significant phenomenon that can be easily encountered in everyday life. Kyrgyz folk traditions and customs are closely related to the nomadic way of life peculiar to Turkic and Mongolian peoples Everything is connected with nomadism: holidays, folk crafts, poetry and music, cuisine and everyday life. And to this day, despite the fact that Kyrgyzstan is a modern state, folk traditions are loved and honored here and carefully passed down from generation to generation.
