Then, the Speaker of the Parliament and the delegation attended the conversation organized with the participation of the members and students of the University at the Rectorate Conference Hall.

Kyrgyz-Turkish Fraternity

Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan said, “We are very honored to host our Honorable Speaker of the Parliament and our valuable delegation. All institutions of our Kyrgyzstan, especially our President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov, the Speaker of the Kyrgyz Parliament and the Deputies shared our pain during the earthquake disaster in Turkey and provided help to our country. Our deputies sent part of their salaries to our country. Kyrgyz people once again showed their love and fraternity. I would like to express our endless thanks once again."

Manas, the Honor of Science

Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan said, “Our Manas University, which was established jointly by our brotherly Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, continues to work as the honor of science. Our scientific success was confirmed by the internationally respected organization QS and we ranked 801st in the list of world universities. Our goal in 2024 is to be among the top 500 universities in the world and to be the first in Central Asia. In this regard, we continue our work at full speed. Our basic philosophy is “to stay human every day”, as Chyngyz Aitmatov said. Also as our Nobel laureate Prof. Dr. Aziz Sancar advised, “to work hard”. Our Manas University is the best example of this. We work hard and achieve world-scale successes and bring firsts to our Kyrgyzstan in the scientific field.”

Manas, Creates Solutions to Problems

Prof. Dr. Ceylan said, “One of the things we want to do in Kyrgyzstan is to be “More Than Just a University”. We are traveling to villages and towns to fulfill this slogan. We interact with the public and we produce and also implement solutions to problems. We are also trying to put forward new projects in the field of agriculture. We have taken important steps in this regard. Our President Sadyr Japarov supported us. Currently, we have a 70-hectare agricultural land project that we are waiting for a decision from the Parliament. In this area to be allocated, we will create a gene bank that will teach modern agriculture and add great wealth to Kyrgyzstan. We especially expect support from our Honorable Speaker Shakiyev in this regard. The enactment of our Teknokent Law proposal, which will also contribute significantly to the economy of Kyrgyzstan, is among the issues we expect. As you know, we are perhaps one of the first universities in the world to draft a law. It is “Technopolis Law”. We would like to see the support of our President and our deputies of the Parliament.”

Another Good News in Scientific Success

Rector Ceylan announced another international success of the University and said, “On the day our President came here, we had to give him a gift. As of today, we have achieved another success in QS: we ranked 300th in the world and 13th in Asia among the universities with the best teaching of modern languages. However, this is not enough for us. We aim to be first. As a university, we are ready to do everything we can in this regard.”

Manas As a Golden Bridge

Deputy Rector Dr. Baktygul Kalambekova said: “Our Speaker of the Parliament Nurlan Shakiyev and his accompanying delegation got to know our University better today. Currently our university is in a very good position. However, we will continue to work uninterruptedly to reach even further. Our university also acts as a golden bridge in strengthening the relations between our countries. Our people recognize and value this distinguished institution for its quality. We are getting stronger every day. We attach importance to the support of our Speaker of the Parliament to this process.”

Great Confidence in Manas University

Speaker of the Parliament Nurlanbek Shakiyev reminded that Manas University has brought Kyrgyzstan to the international arena in higher education and emphasized that they attach great importance to this. Nurlan Shakiyev said that he fully believes in Rector Ceylan's promise that the University will be among the top 500 universities in the world in 2024 and that Manas University has all the necessities to achieve this.

Unlimited Support for Manas

Speaker of the Parliament Shakiev said that they will increase their efforts to resolve all the expectations of Rector Alpaslan Ceylan and added: “There cannot be any issue that has not been resolved between the children of Turkic Ata.” Also Shakiev said that they consider it their duty to support Manas University. Because Turkey and Manas University have done many important and benefit works to Kyrgyzstan. Also he said, “The graduates of Manas University works all over Kyrgyzstan and the world. Because Manas University invests heavily in education and focuses on raising people. This is a great source of pride for us.”

Doors Wide Open to the People of Manas

Deputy Kamila Talieva said that the cooperation with Manas University contributes to the development of the country, the benefits of Manas to Kyrgyzstan are countless, and that the doors of the Parliament are wide open to all Manas members.

Proud of Manas

Mayor of Bishkek Emilbek Abdykadyrov said that the University's progress is a source of great joy and pride and that they will continue to support the University.
