Since its inception in 1992, Kyrgyzstan has struggled to shape a national identity in an unusually unfavourable environment. The country’s ethnic diversity, its absence of a state tradition, its lack of material resources and its geopolitical location have complicated attempts to rally the population around a single national idea or national identity. The raw materials for creating such an identity combine with influences from the diplomatic and cultures worlds with which Kyrgyzstan is in contact. These include Russia, the United States and the West, China, Turkey and the Middle East, and other Central Asian states. The chief architect of Kyrgyzstan’s national identity, President Askar Akaev, has advanced a vision of the country that claims to unite Western and Central Asian values. In fact, it represents little more than slogans designed to appease diverse foreign constituencies
