Two streets in Kyrgyzstan’s largest southern city have been merged and renamed in honor of the legendary Kazakh poet and thinker Abay Kunanbayev, Orda.kz reports.
According to the Osh city administration, Volgogradskaya and Timiryazev streets were combined and reconstructed into a single 3.8 km road, which now bears Abay Kunanbayev’s name.
The new road was visited by Mayor Jenishbek Toktorbaev along with the consuls general of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
Major repairs are nearly complete. A bust of the Kazakh poet will be installed and a park created as a symbol of respect for cultural heritage and the friendship between the two nations.
Abay Kunanbayev made a great contribution to the education, culture and literature of the Kazakh people with his socio-political and philosophical views. The naming of a street in Osh after Abay Kunanbayev is further evidence of the strengthening of the Kyrgyz-Kazakh brotherhood, as well as the respect of the legacy of the great poet, and the involvement of young people in education and culture, they say at the Osh mayor's office.
