The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan amended the resolution «On the establishment of Uzgen State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve.» The corresponding decision was signed by Chairman Adylbek Kasymaliev.
According to the document, new archaeological heritage sites are being transferred to the Uzgen Museum-Reserve, including:
- three mausoleums;
- a minaret;
