Personnel changes take place in Border Guard Service of Kyrgyzstan

President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov has appointed Zhanhybai Yusubaliev and Mairambek Ismanaliev as deputy chairmen of the Border Guard Service. At the same time, Mirzamir Sydykov has been released from his position as first deputy head of the agency and chief of the Main Staff.

According to decrees by the head of state, Zhanhybai Yusubaliev has been appointed deputy chairman of the Border Guard Service. Mairambek Ismanaliev has taken the position of first deputy chairman of the agency and chief of the Main Staff, succeeding Mirzamir Sydykov.

Sydykov received this position on March 11, 2026. Thus, he served in it for about eight months. At that time, Daniyar Satimov and Mansur Isakov were also appointed as deputy chairmen of the Border Guard Service.

The president signed all three decrees in accordance with Article 71 of the Constitution of Kyrgyzstan.

Recall that on October 10, 2026, Sadyr Japarov replaced the chairman of the Border Guard Service. Instead of Abdikarim Alimbaev, the agency was headed by Daniyar Satimov, who previously served as deputy chairman.

Alimbaev had headed the Border Guard Service since December 2024. Following the transformation of the agency into an independent state body in February 2026, he retained the post of chairman.

Earlier, on February 10, 2026, the president withdrew the Border Guard Service from the State Committee for National Security (SCNS) and transformed it into an independent executive body — the State Border Guard Service of Kyrgyzstan.
