According to him, he does not have and did not have the status of a political refugee either in America or in other countries.
"I have been waiting for a decision on my refugee status in the USA for three years. At the same time, I submitted application for the green card. So, I won it. The issue of refugee status is automatically withdrawn; the case will be closed. I have no questions and complaints, the more so the political situation has changed in Kyrgyzstan. After all, I was persecuted during the presidency of Almazbek Atambayev," said Adilet Aitikeev.
The family of Adilet Aitikeev is in Kyrgyzstan.
