The starting time — 8:29 AM — and the length of the route — 8.29 kilometers — symbolically referred to the date of August 29. The participants marched from the UN Office in Geneva along the shores of Lake Leman to the Villa La Grange.The International Day against Nuclear Tests was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 2009 at the initiative of Kazakhstan and is observed annually on August 29. This date reminds the global community of the severe humanitarian and environmental consequences of nuclear tests, as well as the need for their full and definitive cessation.The event was attended by representatives of the diplomatic corps, staff of the UN and other international organizations, non-governmental entities, the expert community, and youth movements.Addressing the participants of the march, a representative of the Permanent Mission of Kazakhstan spoke about the contribution of the people of Kazakhstan to international efforts to end nuclear testing and promote nuclear disarmament.

From 1 September 2026, owners of real estate and land plots will start receiving PUSH notifications about the calculated individual property tax via second-tier bank apps — Kaspi, Halyk and others. This is not a fine and not an order to pay immediately. It is a reminder of the amount already assessed. The payment deadline remains no later than 1 October. Why it is being launched Many people learn about the tax at the last moment — or only after arrears appear. A notification in a familiar banking app makes the obligation visible in time and supports tax discipline. How the rollout will work The mailing will go out in stages:- 1 September — first batch (up to 1 million taxpayers nationwide);- 4 September — second batch (up to 2 million);- 7 September — remaining owners.If the message has not arrived in early September, that is not an error: your turn may fall in the next stage.When the PUSH arrives, check the object, the owner and the amount. Issues most often arise when a relief was not applied, the wrong owner was charged, the building has been demolished or declared unsafe, or the period of ownership is incorrect.Do not pay a disputed amount “just in case”. Contact the state revenue office at the location of the property with supporting documents. The request is closed only after the revised amount appears in the personal account. If the data are correct, pay through the same bank app, eGov.kz or e-Salyq Azamat.The Department asks residents not to postpone checking the notice. A few minutes in a banking app today will spare penalties and extra visits in October.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1282375?lang=ru

On August 29, 1991, the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site was closed. Years later, that date took on global significance. At Kazakhstan’s initiative, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted Resolution 64/35 in 2009, designating August 29 as the International Day against Nuclear Tests. The day serves as a reminder to the world of the human cost of nuclear testing and of the need to move toward a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons.This year marks 35 years since the closure of the Semipalatinsk test site. To commemorate this milestone, Kazakhstan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Yermek Kosherbayev and Robert Floyd, Executive Secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), issued their traditional Joint Statement. For a people who lived through nuclear testing, 35 years is both a single moment in history and an immense journey, a journey from a land once shaken by explosions to a country that today speaks out against allowing such tragedies to happen again.In this way, Kazakhstan transformed its own suffering into a voice heard around the world. The memory of Semipalatinsk has become a call to build a different future, one in which no land, no mother and no child will ever again live under the shadow of a nuclear mushroom cloud.Perhaps this is the brightest lesson of this history: even after living through tragedy, a people can choose peace, hope and faith in a better future.@PressMFAKZSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-bucharest/press/news/details/1282361?lang=ru
