Bishkek, 15.07.26 /Kabar/. About 20 thousand people pass daily through the Ak-Zhol — Road checkpoint due to the tourist season. This was reported by the head of the Ak-Zhol — Road checkpoint Azat Mamatkulov.
According to him, approximately 10 thousand people cross the border from both Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan sides.
