The event was opened by Ruslan Myrzalimov. He spoke about the usefulness of the resource book and about its contributors. "This book happens to be the first resource material of such kind to help modernize legal education in Kyrgyzstan. It will support teachers' work and allow students to gain access to the international materials, documents, and norms being taught and applied in the U.S. and other advanced Asian countries. The book can supplement the existing Kyrgyz law curriculum" - noted Ruslan Myrzalimov. "The resource book was created by professors and students of the three universities in Kyrgyzstan – the Kyrgyz National Law Academy, the American University of Central Asia and the Kyrgyz National University. An important role on the part of the National University was played by Acting Associate Professor of the KNU Law Institute Aiaz Baetov" - pointed out the Director of the Department of International Relations.
Contributors Elida Nogoibaeva and Kamila Mateeva told about the contents of the book. According to them, the book is not a textbook but rather a learning resource. Teachers can use the material from the book to complement their own courses in international relations, governance and law. Also, the book will be soon translated into Kyrgyz.
The event was concluded to the warm wishes addressed by faculty members and graduate students to the book contributors.
The Law Institute Library received 65 copies of the book in English and Russian, as well as CDs containing both versions.
