- The Ministry of Culture and Chui region administration are looking for the 10 ha land to restore the ancient town of Balasagun, Minister of Culture Altynbek Maksutov said at the plenary session of the Parliament on September 18. The design is ready. The town is more beautiful than Samarkand, Bukhara and perhaps will become a good tourist center, the Culture Minister suggested.
"We are looking for suitable land and investors," Minister Maksutov stated. Balasagun is a medieval town, which existed on the Chu River on the territory of modern Kyrgyzstan, near Tokmok town..
