We have learned with great sorrow the passing of Mr. Beksultan Jakiyev, the Kyrgyz member of the Council of Elders of  the Turkic Speaking States.
Mr. Beksultan Jakiyev, who with his personality as a writer, made great contributions to the richness of literature of Kyrgyzstan, made valuable recommendations to strengthen the multilateral relations between the brotherly Turkic States.
The memory of our wise Aksakal will undoubtedly remain in the hearts of the Turkic people.
On behalf of the Turkic Council and on my own, I convey  my condolences to the family of Mr. Beksultan Jakiyev and the brotherly people of Kyrgyzstan, I wish God's mercy on him.

Baghdad Amreyev
Secretary General of the Turkic Council
