Kyrgyz President Japarov Outraged by Nephew’s Flashy Marriage Proposal
Kyrgyz President Japarov is outraged after Aftandil Sabyrbekov used a government helicopter to propose his beauty queen niece Lazzat Nurgozhoeva. Video of the lavish proposal shows the young couple dressed in white flying to a mountainside location on a Kyrgyz Emergency Situations Ministry helicopter, landing to applause before walking along a path and meeting in front of a giant heart made of flowers, where the proposal is made to the accompaniment of fireworks.
President Caparov Expressed His Reaction Harshly
The video, which quickly went viral, infuriated Caparov. In an interview with local media, the president said that he had publicly apologized for his niece, and that Sabyrbekov only wanted to marry her to gain political support and hide his illegal activities. When Sabyrbekov did not publicly apologize, Caparov lost his patience, and two weeks later he ordered the arrest of his nephew’s fiancée. According to local media, Sabyrbekov was arrested for drug-related crimes.
