Akorda’s clear intentions to cut off even larger number of citizens, eligible to run for president in the next elections, is only surprising at a first glance. Such toughening is not only logical but also necessary, in case this electoral campaign will be taking place without Nazarbaev’s participation.
A year ago internet portal Ratel.kg published a quite scandalous interview under a loud heading
This year irreplaceable Kazakhstani president Nazarbaev is turning 77. In advance of this date we are starting publication of his biographical sketch, written in 2005 by famous Kazakhstani scientist, history PhD, professor Nurbolat Masanov for the activists of the civic society.
The fact that Nursultan Nazarbaev will head Kazakhstan until his last breath is now acknowledged by almost everyone within the country and beyond its borders. However, the question of why he, as opposed to Yeltsin and Putin cannot afford to retire or at least give the presidential seat to a trusted individual, while remaining the “leader of nation”, remains unanswered.
On May 16th 2017 Committee on national security of Kazakhstan has announced the beginning of joint (with ministry of internal affairs) mass special operation “on the territory of Kyzylorda oblast” on suppressing the activities of several criminal groups, involved in illegal acquisition, transportation, possessing and sale of oil and oil products”.
Kazakhstan became independent at the beginning of 1992 as a result of the USSR collapse. In half a year later, the leader of the young state, Nursultan Nazarbayev, decided to begin preparations for oil development production at the Caspian Sea region. Thus, the oil dream had officially become the national idea of Kazakhstan. The new limitless oil reserves were supposed to transform the country into Kuwait (at the very least).
