A history of independence text: Aliya Shineleva , exclusively
for Gazeta.kz On 16th of December, 1991, conveying the nation
will, the Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan was
solemnly proclaimed. This day is annually celebrated as the
Independence Day. This year we commemorate the 13th anniversary.
However the most of the Kazakhstani people still in doubt before
naming the same historical dates and mix up names of the Khans
and all the more the street names. Who are Aiteke bi or Kabanbai
batyr? I go down the Kalinin street! Kazakhstan can be correctly
called one of the richest countries in the Central Asian region.
Here under the surface of Kazakhstani land there are priceless
treasures, presenting the historical and cultural value for the
whole republic. The nature's beauty: the blue sky, the dazzling
sun, the wind caressing our skin - only this knows about what
happened here thousands of years ago. Since we have become an
independent state, it is time to begin a research and care for
our history. Beca
