According to him, consuls are actively negotiating with hotels to ensure that Kyrgyz citizens are not evicted. "There are few Kyrgyz citizens in Abu Dhabi, and there are no problems with evictions. There are currently approximately 800 stranded Kyrgyz citizens in Qatar, and approximately 1,000 in the UAE.
