Today's meeting is not just a discussion, but a search for specific mechanisms that will help authors and performers receive decent remuneration."During the discussion, representatives of the creative community expressed different views on reforming the collective management system.Composer M. Kusainov noted that the participants of the legendary Dos-Mukasan group do not receive payment for the use of their works.

This is a great achievement for me. This year we will carry out work in the western part of the district, and next year we will begin construction of the eastern part, including drainage systems and networks.
