On August 10, the village of Ayet hosted events dedicated to the 180th anniversary of the birth of the great poet, thinker, and enlightener Abai Kunanbayev. 11.08.2025
At 10:00 a.m., the snow-white monument to Abai welcomed the villagers who came to pay tribute to the genius. A flower-laying ceremony was held at the monument. Words of sincere gratitude and respect for the great heritage were expressed by Olga Nurgalieva, Head of the Department of Internal Policy, and Gauhar Asanova, Head of the Central Library System of the district. The speakers noted that Abai’s 180th anniversary is not only a reason for pride, but also an invitation to a serious dialogue with his legacy. It is an opportunity to reread The Book of Words not as a historical document, but as a roadmap for self-improvement—both for the individual and for society as a whole. The path Abai began is not complete. Each new generation must walk it again, finding in his words wisdom, strength, and, most importantly, heart.The atmosphere of the event was filled with pride for the great son of the Kazakh people and respect for the spiritual values he left to posterity.The celebration continued at the District House of Culture. The musical and poetic event “Abai – wise, Abai – unique, always!” was opened by hosts Tanatkan Zhursin and Diana Abzhanova. They noted that by celebrating Abai Day, we honor not only the memory of one man, but also the eternal values he left to all of us. In them is embodied his entire life and his dreams of a bright future. His pen was the sword of justice; his thought, the voice of reason. Abai is a poet whose words still inspire today. His philosophy, his Kara Sozder (“Words of Edification”), are a treasure for all generations, translated into many languages. It consists of 45 brief parables on morality, law, and history.On stage, in the image of Abai, appeared Marhabat Nokishov, an actor of the People’s Theater. He recited the First Word of Edification. The artistic director of the House of Culture, Aiman Zybaleva, spoke about the childhood years of the genius. She emphasized that to understand the essence of Abai, one must start with his name. The ocean of Abai’s wisdom is, in essence, contained within his short name—Abai. By immersing ourselves in it, we find not only beautiful poetry and culture, but also ourselves. Answers to questions not about yesterday, but about today. For a classic is a classic precisely because he is our contemporary.A. Zybaleva continued her speech with the poem Be Discerning in Your Path. Daryga Aisagalieva tenderly and delicately performed Abai’s work Zhelsiz tünde zharik ay (“A Bright Moon on a Windless Night”).The audience was able to touch the wisdom and spiritual heritage of the great poet through the vivid performances of the participants, filled with deep meaning and love for their native culture.Maira Myrzagalieva spoke about the youth and mature years of Abai, as well as the Fifteenth Word of Edification. Young musicians Alibek Zharylkasynov and Aibek Baltabayev performed the well-known kyuis Tory zhorga and Kerbez sulu.Abai Kunanbayev translated about 50 works by A.S. Pushkin, M.Yu. Lermontov, and I.A. Krylov. His poetic translations from Russian literature became a national treasure. Tatyana’s Letter from Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin was performed by Daryga Aisagalieva.Abai often wrote about the mighty power of love and about beauty, which transforms and uplifts a person. Love in the poet’s verses is elevated and noble. One of Abai’s most famous and beloved works among the people, Ayttym Salem, Kalamkas, was performed by Talgat Shakeldikov.Once again, Abai’s verses were heard from the stage. This time, the image of the genius—again in the performance of Marhabat Nokishov—addressed the youth with advice on what a true person should be in If You Wish to Be Human.It has been 180 years since Abai’s birth, yet he is still with us—in our songs, in our thoughts, in our hearts. May Abai’s word lead us toward the light of knowledge, love, and harmony!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-bmalin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1048550?lang=kk
Public Works for Domestic Abuser and Brawler in Ust-Kamenogorsk 11.08.2025
Public Works for Domestic Abuser and Brawler in Ust-KamenogorskTwo men in Ust-Kamenogorsk, whose alcohol-fueled disputes led to violence, are now serving their sentences by cleaning up the city's streets. A court sentenced them to a combined 300 hours of community service and placed them under the supervision of the probation service.One incident occurred during the holidays when a man, instead of breaking up a fight, hit a friend over the head with a bottle. For this, he received 200 hours of community service and mandatory treatment for alcoholism. The second case involved domestic violence, where a man physically assaulted his common-law wife. A timely call to the police saved the woman, and her partner was sentenced to 100 hours of work. His wife noted that he is changing for the better and is glad he was given a chance to reform. After completing his service, he plans to find a job."Community service is not just a punishment, but an opportunity to benefit society and start a new, law-abiding life. Probation officers constantly interact with convicts, monitor their work schedules, and help them find a way out of difficult life situations," said Yernar Ilyashev, acting head of the Probation Service Department of the Penitentiary Department for the East Kazakhstan Region.The convicts are cleaning up garbage in residential areas and manually pulling out overgrown weeds along the roads. One of them, who is on probation, noted that he previously worked as a janitor and knows every corner of the neighborhood. Probationers work four hours a day, cleaning the city streets. However, they should remember that community service is not just serving a sentence, but also a test of their law-abiding nature.If they ignore the rules of serving their sentence, fail to show up for work, or violate their schedule, they face a harsher punishment, including potential prison time. The sentences handed down by the court must be carried out in full, and compliance is under the strict control of the probation service. This is the last opportunity for these individuals to avoid prison and return to a normal life.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duis-vko/press/news/details/1048566?lang=kk

Procedure for obtaining digital signature keys will change 10.08.2025
Starting from August 11, 2025, the procedure for obtaining digital signature keys will change. Users were previously free to choose how to obtain their DS-either online or through an in-person visit to the Citizen Service Center. Today, however, the process has shifted predominantly to a remote format. A personal visit to the CSC is now only permitted if the biometric identification system fails to verify the user's identity after multiple attempts.  Previously, DS keys could have been obtained either online or by visiting Citizen Service Centers. The procedure has now been fully transitioned to an online format. To obtain DS keys, the user needs to submit an application through theeGov.kz portal or the website of the National Certification Authority pki.gov .kz, and complete biometric identification via a facial recognition system. If biometric identification is successful, DS keys are issued without the need for a personal visit to the CSC.If the system fails to complete identification – for example, due to a missing photo in the database or a technical error – the user will have the opportunity to retry the process. The system allows up to five biometric verification attempts. Only after that does it become possible to apply for a DS through a CSC and complete identification with a CSC operator, providing the required set of documents.It is important to note that without passing biometric verification, applying through the CSC is not possible. The operator verifies the information using the IIN and, if there are not five failed biometric attempts, will be unable to provide the service. Access to submission through the CSC is automatically granted only after all online attempts have been exhausted.For citizens without access to the Internet or a computer, biometric identification can be completed in the self-service areas of the CSC. If the user successfully completes identification on the spot, the keys are issued online without the involvement of a CSC operator.The shift toward a predominantly remote format is also supported by statistics. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 14.9 million digital signature keys have been issued in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Of these, 92.25% were obtained through remote identification, while only 7.75% were issued via Citizen Service Centers. These figures indicate a high demand for online service and a steady trend toward the digitalization of public services.The new feature is designed to enhance the level of information security. A DS is equivalent to a handwritten signature and carries full legal weight; therefore, access to DS keys must be strictly limited to the owner only. The use of biometrics provides reliable identity verification and prevents unauthorized issuance of DS keys.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe-irgiz/press/news/details/1049060?lang=kk
A united country is a prosperous country. 10.08.2025
Unity is the strong shield of the country, peace is the lasting happiness of the state. In all times, the strength and joy of the people have been based on mutual understanding and respect. Because only where stability is established in society, the path to development and prosperity opens up. This is a truth proven many times by history, politics, and life experience. Our independent country is a unique place where more than a hundred nationalities and ethnic groups, representatives of different religions and cultures live in harmony. Such a great value was not established in a day. It is the fruit of the generosity, tolerance, and wise policy of the country's leadership, which our ancestors have cultivated over the centuries. Today, Kazakhstan is setting an example of stability and harmony before the world. Harmony is not only the foundation of a peaceful life, but also the guarantee that every citizen can look to the future with confidence. On the contrary, discord and division are extremely dangerous phenomena that undermine the foundations of the state and cloud its future. Therefore, each of us must be an example in preserving unity and mutual respect, strengthening it in everyday life. No storm can shake a country that is united. And harmony and peace are our most precious treasures that we can leave as a legacy to future generations. Preserving this value is the sacred duty of every citizen. The unity of the people of Kazakhstan is the unshakable pillar of the state, and peace is its greatest wealth. Each of us has a role to play on this path. #МирИСогласие #ЗаМир #МыВместе #PeaceAndHarmony#PeaceForAll #TogetherForPeace #АНК30жил #АНК30лет#APK30years #АНК #ANK

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev considers the peace agreement signed in Washington between Azerbaijan and Armenia a historically important achievement. 09.08.2025
The document put an end to the long-standing military conflict between the two states and opened the way to the establishment of diplomatic relations and the development of cooperation between them on the basis of lasting peace. According to the Head of State, the signing of a unique agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia became possible thanks to the energetic and effective mediation mission of US President Donald Trump, who managed to convince the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders to fully demonstrate political will and strategic foresight. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev notes that Kazakhstan has also made its contribution to achieving such important agreements between Azerbaijan and Armenia by proposing Almaty as a venue for negotiations at the level of foreign ministers on key parameters of the peace treaty. Ministerial negotiations took place there.
