On November 5, the “Chinghiz Aitmatov” Order was presented to Ilham Aliyev, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, in Bishkek.
The head of state arrived at the house-museum dedicated to the prominent Kyrgyz writer, Chinghiz Aitmatov.
President Ilham Aliyev first toured the house-museum, located at the “Ala Archa” State Residence near Bishkek. The house served as Aitmatov's home for the last 20 years of his life, from 1986 until his passing. Following the death of the great son of the Kyrgyz people, his wife Maria Aitmatova and their son Eldar lived here with their family.
