Tyntchtykbek Kadyrmambetovich Tchoroev (Chorotegin) (in Kyrgyz - Тынчтыкбек Чороев (Чоротегин), a Kyrgyz historian, publicist and journalist. Chairman of the Board of the Muras (Heritage) Foundation under the Office of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic (since 30 August 2013), President of the Kyrgyz History Society (elected on 11 February 2012), Doctor of History (1998), Professor of the Kyrgyz State National University named after Jusup Balasagyn (2002). Dr. Tchoroev is well known as an independent history researcher, Turkologist and journalist. Until September 2011, he worked as a broadcaster at Radio Azattyk, i.e. Kyrgyz Service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (he was Director of the Kyrgyz Service between 1 January 2003 and 30 September 2010).
He was born in the village of Echki-Bashy in the On-Archa village area in Naryn district of Naryn region in Northern Kyrgyzstan on 28 March 1959. His grand father Choro (Choro-Hajji) Aity uulu was a wealthy person, who made a pilgrimage to Mecca long before the 1916 anti-Tsarist uprising of the Kyrgyzstanis.
Choro-Hajji died in 1927, i.e. a little bit earlier than the launch of the extradition campaign for the rich Kyrgyz people by the Stalinist regime in the last years of the 1920s. Choro Hajji's mausoleum built in the 1927-28, still exists near the village of Echki-Bashy. Bekbolot, Choro-Hajji's grandchild from his older son, died during the Stalinist purge, due to his connection with a wealthy family.
Choro-Hajji's wife, Suyumkan Malay kyzy, was a daughter of a wealthy person from a neighboring Ming-Bulak village. She was educated before the Soviet regime, that is why she could read the Koran in Arabic.
