II. Overall assessment of the current situation

External and internal premises of emergence of extremism and terrorism.

Activity of the extremist and terrorist groups which often are covered with religion almost around the world acquires recently large-scale nature. Extremist and terrorist groups pose threat to peace and safety, to sustainable development, are dangerous challenge to human rights and rule of law, integrity and sovereignty of the states.

Activities of the groups, the organizations and movements adhering to ideology of violence and hatred force the states to apply preventive and power methods of fight against terrorism and extremism.

At this conjuncture combination of efforts of all branches of the power, the government and public institutions and mass media is urgent.

The current results of activities of state bodies on counteraction to religious extremism and terrorism together with public organizations and expert community allow to designate the following external and internal factors promoting growth of threat of distribution of ideology of extremism and terrorism in the Kyrgyz Republic.

External factors. Expansion of international backgrounds, globalization, informatization of society promoted that modern terrorism and extremism acquired cross-border nature.

Special vulnerability of the Kyrgyz Republic is predetermined by geographical proximity of Central Asia to the regions which are characterized by instability and the conflicts, became the centers of distribution of the ideas of extremism. Serious danger is constituted by combatants upon return home. Democratic the mode in the republic it is used by extremists and terrorists for relocation of the groups to the Kyrgyz Republic, creating additional risks.

Promotion of the ideas of religious extremism and terrorism from abroad in Internet space and social networks with use of system psychological impact in respect of certain citizens promoted their involvement in the foreign destructive organizations. Departure of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic for participation in fighting as a part of so-called Islamic State increased. As of December, 2014 170 cases of departure of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic for participation in fighting on the party of so-called Islamic State, in May, 2015 - 350, in September, 2016 - 560 cases are revealed. Potential return to the Kyrgyz Republic of citizens with fighting experience poses threat of public safety.

Integration in the field of religion and religious education with other Muslim countries without their religious and ideological condition and country features accelerated implementation of religious and extremist ideologies. Part of the citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic who were trained in the foreign educational centers of the Muslim states introduced the radical ideas of intolerance to currents of Islam, traditional for the Central Asian region. With respect thereto increase of contradictions between Muslim religious communities is observed.

Under the influence of socio-economic factors the labor migration, generally youth became more active. Insufficiently productive approach from migratory service to the solution of questions of labor migrants made youth vulnerable target for the international extremist and terrorist movements. Coordination and synchronization of efforts at the interstate level are necessary for the solution of this problem.

Internal premises include political, social and economic, cultural and religious factors which in total influence distribution of the radical ideas among socially vulnerable segments of the population.
