The protection of mountain

Kyrgyz shrine "Sulaiman-Too" will not be entertainment centre
President Kurmanbek Bakiyev signed a decree on state support of one of the most famous historical monuments Kyrgyzstan - Sulayman-Too mountains, that translates as Mount Solomon.
The document, he banned the construction of the ropeway is, disputes about which way since the beginning of the year. And it all began with the announcement of plans for local entrepreneurs who, under the pretext of tourism development proposed southern capital management erect funicular. This, in the view of some historians and art critics, could seriously damage the Kyrgyz relic. Cableways would have caused irreparable damage to natural landscapes and historical and cultural values in the zone of the mountain. Besides Sulaiman Too-in this case would not hit on the list of UNESCO World Heritage site.
To convince businessmen do not ruin the heritage of humanity, Minister of Culture Sultan Raev, invited professor at the University of Tokyo Yukio Nishimura, that he gave as an independent expert assessment of the possible consequences of the construction. Having read the draft, an international expert unequivocally stated that the erection of the facility had a negative impact on all the natural and historical and cultural components of a holy mountain. In addition, the cable car will distort the visual and aesthetic perception of tourists one of the most ancient cities in the world - Osha, who in 2001 was three thousand years.
According to a Japanese professor, Sulayman-Too is a monument of international importance, so the state should take him under its protection. But this is not persuaded supporters of building the aerial tram. Project manager Adylbek Mirzamatov claimed that at the foot of the mountain, where the cable car will start, install cabins that people were able to washing facilities, there will also be issued to the net replacement shoes. The estimated cost of construction - more than a half million euros.
Presidential Decree, to put a full stop to the dispute, except the ban on construction commits the Government and local authorities to undertake complex Osha necessary arrangements for the conservation, protection and management of national historical and cultural museum complex Sulayman-Too in accordance with the recommendations of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. These standards should adhere to international organizations in the construction of mosques and minarets, which are a considerable number erected in the southern capital.
The Government should be already this year to develop a history Rica-architectural plan for the protection of historic downtown and adjacent territories Kara-Suyskogo Osh region.
If the conflict is associated with the erection of the ropeway is on the holy mountain of joy to her defenders resolved in their favor, it remains an open question what will happen to those entrepreneurs who have also already there before the presidential decree to open a business here. Thus, in the museum in the heart of the mountains several operate cafes and snack bars, for which local authorities do not take any action.
