Japarov Signs Law Confirming Kazakhstan's Ownership of Issyk-Kul Resorts

Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Japarov has signed a law ratifying two bilateral agreements with Kazakhstan regarding the ownership and lease terms of Kazakhstan-owned resorts on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, Orda.kz reports, citing Tazabek.

The agreements, originally signed in 2006 and 2009, reaffirm that while the land remains under Kyrgyz jurisdiction through a lease arrangement, the resort properties themselves are the legal property of Kazakhstan.

Under the agreements, Kazakhstan retains ownership of the following facilities:

• Olympus Center (formerly the Avtomobilist Kazakhstana holiday home, Korumdu village)
  
• Samal Rest House (Bosteri village)
  
• Kazakhstan Sanatorium (Cholpon-Ata)
  
• University Camp (Bosteri village)

The ratification ensures legal security for the operation of these resorts, while also preserving Kyrgyzstan’s control over the land they occupy.
