The visit culminated in a ceremony at the presidential palace, where Sadyr Japarov was awarded the Supreme Order of the Turkic World.
The decision to award the order was unanimously made by the heads of state of the OTG member states: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan.The award was personally presented to the Kyrgyz leader by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Accepting the prestigious award, Sadyr Japarov called it a testament to his deep respect and recognition of the contribution of the entire Kyrgyz people to the unity of the Turkic world.
He emphasized that the states of the region are united by a shared, centuries-old history, spiritual values, and similar languages and cultures.

For Kyrgyzstan, integration processes within the organization serve as an effective tool for advancing national interests in Eurasia.
