Bishkek, March 5, 2024. /Kabar/. President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Zhaparov today congratulated the Kyrgyz people on the Day of Ak Kalpak and national clothing.
In his congratulation the head of state said that the preservation and further development of a nation is directly related to the language, values, history and culture of the people.
“There is no doubt that our national clothing, starting with the Ak kalpak, symbolizing mountains covered with white snow and glaciers, is the oldest, proudest, most important and most comfortable element of Kyrgyz culture. And today, in the era of globalization, it is impossible to imagine every Kyrgyz without Ak kalpak.
Realizing that Ak kalpak is a national symbol, the pride of the people, citizens took the initiative to establish the Ak kalpak Day holiday, which was supported by the people and turned into a national holiday. And at present, the national headdress, symbolizing the peaks of the Ala-Too mountains, covered with white snow, is the most important element of the material heritage.
Ak kalpak, originally invented as universal protection from rain, wind and hot sun, is a truly amazing find, a historical legacy left by ancestors to future generations.
Just as every word of the ancient Kyrgyz people with a long history was always appropriate and had a deep meaning, so our national clothing, starting with the Ak kalpak, includes not only the artistic, aesthetic and practical aspects, but also the entire philosophy of life. Our wise ancestors passed on these values from generation to generation and attached special importance to Ak kalpak.
The future will evaluate us by our attitude towards our national values, traditions, history, and therefore we, as the current generation, are obliged to continue the great tradition of our ancestorsz”, he said in his congratulation.
