Health state of Kyrgyz President Almazbek Atambayev is normal and he is still in Turkey, said an official of the presidential press service, RIA Novosti reported.

“The president’s health condition is normal. He has already made a statement today,” said the official.

Earlier, the Kyrgyz presidential press service said Atambayev took a short vacation to undergo a medical examination.

The vacation will presumably last until October 1, 2016, the press service added.

Sixty-year-old Atambayev suddenly felt ill on September 19 on the way to New York and was advised by his doctors to pass a preliminary medical exam. The exam discovered some symptoms of possible heart problems.

He had to cancel the visit to the 71st session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

The Kyrgyz delegation in the UN General Assembly will be led by Foreign Minister Erlan Abdyldaev.

Almazbek Atambayev has been the President of Kyrgyzstan since December 1, 2011.

Before becoming the President he served as the Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan from December 2010 to December 2011. He created history by becoming the first peacefully inaugurated President in the post-Communist Kyrgyzstan.
