On September 16, 1924, the third emergency session of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic adopted a resolution on the national demarcation of Central Asia.

«4. In fulfilment of the expressed universal will of the working and dekhkan masses of the Kara-Kyrgyz people to grant the right to the Kara-Kyrgyz people to secede from the TASSR and form the Kara-Kyrgyz Autonomous Region».
October 14, 1924 second session of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) adopted a resolution on the formation of the Kara-Kyrgyz Autonomous Region within the RSFSR.
From that moment on, an active process of socio-economic development of Kyrgyzstan and its progress along the path of strengthening statehood began.
