Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia, and it occupies the 9th place as
the largest country in surface land with a population of 17 million people.
During post independence, Kazakhstan has
achieved the status of a stable, dynamically developing country. Now among the
important achievements of political stability, interethnic peace and harmony,
is a rapidly growing economy, refusal from nuclear weapons.
Kazakhstan
or Kazakh Eli?
Recently, the people of Kazakhstan have discussing
and debated the proposals of the head of state about renaming Kazakhstan to Kazakh Eli.
According to President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the
new name Kazakh Eli will be more attractive to foreigners studying the map of
the region. "Perhaps we need to consider over time, the question of
transition to the name of our country „Kazakh Eli“, but first be sure to
discuss it with people" -said Nursultan Nazarbayev
Public Reaction
Kazakh`s public opinion was very mixed. The
majority of people discussed and shared their opinion on social networks.
Someone who supported the President's idea, said that the country requires
change, and the new name will have a positive impact not only on image and
reputation, but later on politics, the economy ... Some negatively respond to
this idea, referring to the fact that the state had enough of other problems
that should be solved.
To say that I'm neutral , it would be wrong on
my part. Since I am a citizen of this country who pays taxes, and any changes
of the country should be of interest to me.
I most likely favour than against. Firstly, with the renaming of the
country, Kazakhstan will begin to be know around speak all over the world, and secondly as
noted Nursultan Nazarbaev it will help us rid the end of "tan"that in
the future, select the country from other States of Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Turkmenistan, etc.). Thirdly, I am confident that in the future the name of our
country even harder to rally 130 nationalities living in the territory of
Kazakhstan. Indeed, I prefer the change to Kazakh "Kazakh Eli" means
"land of Kazakhs".
