Anvar Artykov edit

  • ... that Anvar Artykov was only one of three Uzbek politicians to be elected in the 2010 Kyrgyz parliamentary election, despite 14.5% of the Kyrgyz population at the time being ethnically Uzbek? [1]
    • ALT1:... that Kyrgyz politician Anvar Artykov spent less than a year representing the Ar-Namys in the Supreme Council of Kyrgystan before defecting to the majority coalition? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
    • ALT2:... that Kyrgyz politician Anvar Artykov was elected the governor of Osh Region, only to be detained a day later?

  • @Cwmhiraeth: Thank you. But there is a problem: There's no inline cite for it being on the president's orders. Yoninah (talk) 15:03, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
