Russian strongman Vladimir Putin will now also stand tall in Kyrgyzstan — well almost at 4500 metres.
The Prime Minister of the Central Asian republic has ordered that a peak in the Tian-Shan mountains be named after his Russian counterpart.
Kyrgyz Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev has issued orders to name a 4500 meter high mountain “Vladimir Putin Peak”,ITAR-TASS reported.
So far,the mountain peak in the basin of Ak-Suu river of Chui District was unnamed.
However,Prime Minister Atambayev’s decree is yet to be ratified by the Kyrgyz Parliament.
Earlier,Kyrgyzstan had renamed one of the peaks after post-Soviet Russia’s first president Boris Yeltsin near the picturesque Issyk-Kul Lake in Tian-Shan Mountains.
