Security Council of Kyrgyzstan
The Security Council of Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz: Кыргызстандын Коопсуздук Кенешинин, Russian: Совет Безопасности Кыргызстана) is an political/constitutional body in the Office of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic. Its tasks are to consider internal and external threats to Kyrgyzstan and maintaining its security and defense. Being a purely advisory body, it aides the President in developing his/her decisions related to the Armed Forces of Kyrgyzstan and other law enforcement bodies.[1][2] The current Secretary of the Security Council is vacant after President and Chairman of the Security Council Sooronbai Jeenbekov sacked Damir Sagynbayev (12 March 2018 – 10 October 2020) on 10 October 2020 while its current Deputy Secretary has been Zhanybek Kaparov since 10 October 2020 after the sacking of Omurbek Suvanaliyev.[3] Notable Secretaries of the Security Council include Almazbek Kurmanaliev, Tokon Mamytov, and Zhenish Razakov.[4] The security council was renamed in 2010 to the defense council and was reverted to its former name in March 2017.[5][6]
