It has been 18 years since the dawn of independence and the elevation of sovereignty.
Since then as if a youngster that have overcome a great many obstacles and attaining his majority the great land’s flag has been flying in blue sky. Up to these days our ancestors unyieldingly struggled against enemies so as to preserve and pass this land on to our generation. Looking back to history, we see that such fearless and brave sons of this land as Kenesary batyr, Syrym Datuly, Jankoja batyr, Makhambet nad Isatay did their utmost to save this land from enemy. Along with it, many prominent Kazakh scholars despite the danger kept worrying and struggling for the peace, unity and freedom of our land. Once more did the generation of those brave men show their will to continue the great deeds in Jeltoksan rebellion. Consequently, Kazakh youth was able to leave its grand mark in history.
Many days have passed since then. Many generations came to life. Many years
remained behind. It is without doubt that thanks to our ancestors and seniors that we have renewed, restored and regained our conscious and are being up to date with world’s greatest countries.
Obviously enough, the first to recognize and accept our independence and to demonstrate true friendship and brotherhood was Turkey. Since then good relationships have established between two countries. The citizens of both states have been sharing the values they were about to forget and have been supporting each other. The proof of it is Kazakh-Turkish high schools that have been bringing, on behalf of Kazakhstan, many golden medals from various science contests. The students of these educational establishments have been successful in achieving highest prizes and making Kazakhstan known to entire world. If so, then may God bless and help our country. We congratulate all Kazakhstani people on the Day of Independence. May the future of our generous nation be bright! Let us pass on to further generations the sovereignty that have been craved and preserved by our ancestors.
