Life

Beknazarov comes from the south of Kyrgyzstan. After the country gained independence in 1991, he only made a career as a judge and was ultimately elected to the Kyrgyz parliament. In early 2002, the Kyrgyz government and the People's Republic of China agreed on a treaty that regulated the demarcation of the borders between the two countries and was intended to be the foundation for closer cooperation. This contract was strictly rejected by the opposition. Beknazarov became the head of protests against the treaty by submitting a vote of no confidence in incumbent President Askar Akayev . In January 2002, he was arrested while serving as a judge for allegedly dismissing a case in a 1994 murder case. The arrest of Beknasarov became the starting point for a first wave of national protests, which demanded Beknasarov's release, but were also openly against the president. The death of five Protestants further exacerbated the mood in the country. After Akayev made concessions to the population, the situation calmed down for the time being.

After the parliamentary elections in 2005 , which Akayev manipulated in his favor, protests broke out again, which led to the overthrow of the president in the so-called tulip revolution. In the new government of Kurmanbek Bakiyev , the entire political leadership of the country was replaced and Beknazarov became prosecutor general.

In 2010 there was renewed political unrest in the country as a result of which Bakiyev fled to Kazakhstan and a transitional government under Rosa Otunbajewa took over power. In this government, Beknazarov became vice-prime minister. In this role he was particularly concerned with the unrest in southern Kyrgyzstan , where the Uzbek minority was persecuted, and the preparation of the referendum to amend the constitution that would define Kyrgyzstan as a parliamentary republic in the future . The referendum was positive and so elections took place on October 10, 2010 and a new government under the Social Democrat Almasbek Atambayev came to power.
