Today marks a special day that celebrates the historical memory, spiritual heritage, and national values of the Kyrgyz people. Which day is it? It is March 5th — Ak Kalpak Day!
The Ak Kalpak is not just a headpiece. It represents honor, wisdom, purity, and national pride. Our ancestors held the Ak Kalpak high, glorifying it as a symbol of a mans dignity and stature. We proudly celebrated this day with the students of the Financial and Law College of Osh State University. May the heads of our Kyrgyz men always remain unbowed, and may their Kalpaks never fall to the ground.
