– Residents of the countries of the Eurasian space are neighbors, and this fact cannot be changed. We are united by long-standing historical ties, joint achievements and victories, common language and culture. This commonality is demonstrated in the films participating in our festival,” said Valery Shekhovtsov, director of the International Documentary Film Festival of the CIS countries “Eurasia.DOC”.
An active participant in the CIS Documentary Film Festival “Eurasia.DOC” from Kyrgyzstan – finalist of the youth short documentary film competition “Eurasia.doc: 4 minutes” Maria Naumova was solemnly presented with a Letter of Gratitude for her high professionalism, assistance and active participation in the events of the Festival.

– This year, Kyrgyzstan is the flagship of the Eurasian agenda. Major Eurasian forums take place here one after another. We live in different states, but in fact, this is one large common space. Sometimes it seems to us that our potential is limited by the borders of our states, but the space of the EAEU provides us with limitless opportunities that we need to take advantage of,” said Albert Zulkharneev, head of the Rossotrudnichestvo Representative Office in Kyrgyzstan.
The “Big Eurasian Day” program was continued by the international round table “Great Eurasian Partnership. Joining forces”, which took place at the press center of “Sputnik – Kyrgyzstan”.
