Kazakhstan’s
model of reconciliation and peace
Kazakhstan is a symbol of
inter-ethnic tolerance and social harmony, national unity consolidated by
National Doctrine Unity of Kazakhstan. Nowadays Kazakhstan is a unique Eurasian
country, where peace and harmony between different ethnic groups exist .
After the adoption of
Kazakhstan's independence in 1992 at the First Forum of the people of
Kazakhstan the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A Nazarbayev raised
the idea of establishing the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan,
and it was realized in March 1995. Kazakhstan became the first country created
a unique institution, the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan on the territory of
the former Soviet states. This unique institution contributed to the formation
and approval of the Kazakh model of multi-ethnic society, which aims to
strengthen interethnic and interreligious harmony in many ways.
Throughout its history, the
Assembly was transformed from a consultative body under the President of RK to the
constitutional body that has a firm legal basis and socio-political status. In
May 2007, there were a number of amendments in the Constitution of the Republic
of Kazakhstan. Assembly of Peoples of
Kazakhstan was given constitutional status, it received the right to vote to
Majilis of nine deputies, which greatly enhanced the social and political role
of the Assembly. In October 20, 2008
the President signed the Law of "Assembly of Peoples of Kazakhstan,"
which has no analogues in the world. The Assembly of Peoples of Kazakhstan has
become a full-fledged subject of the country's political system; normative
legal basis for its activities has been identified. It contributes to the
development and implementation of the state national policy, to ensure
socio-political stability in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Over the years, the Assembly
of People of Kazakhstan has accumulated a great intellectual potential and
consolidating, transformed into a real institution of public diplomacy. The
unique structure uniting representatives of more than 130 ethnic groups and 18
confessions of our country has played a huge role in preserving the stability
and sustainable development of the country, provided the necessary path of
constructive dialogue and communication with all the multi-ethnic and
multi-confessional people of Kazakhstan. A steady model of interaction between
ethnic groups and religions, ensuring the stability of the atmosphere of
creativity and harmony in society has been formed in Kazakhstan.
Let’s note the basic principal
features of Kazakhstan model: President of the Assembly is the President
himself who is the guarantor of the Constitution, and this is determined by its
high status as a socio-political institution. Kazakhstan model was formed on
the basis of the civil initiative. Social harmony is of major political and ideological values. The principle
objective of the Basic Law reveals the inexhaustible potential of the
Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Nine deputies of the Majilis of the
Parliament, elected by the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan, provide a
guaranteed parliamentary representation of all ethnic groups. Preservation and
growth of cultural diversity contributes to the invariable policy of the state
to support the ethnic languages and cultures. Interethnic
relations in Kazakhstan depoliticized that enshrined in law in the Constitution
of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Assembly of Peoples of Kazakhstan is a core in the model of interethnic relations
, representing the living instrument of social cohesion and national unity.
It plays a grate role in the
socio-political life of the republic in stabilizing the society and ensuring
the unity and harmony. With regard to the national culture the Assembly of
Peoples of Kazakhstan focuses attention of Kazakh people on increasing
knowledge about the history and culture of Kazakh and all other peoples of the
country, preservation of historical heritage and the further development of the
national identity and traditions of ethnic relations. At present, defining its
priorities, the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan contributes to strengthening
of statehood, protection of rights and freedoms, contributes to the formation
of Kazakhstan patriotism, of ethno-cultural education and prevention to counter
the negative trends that threaten the national identity and the consolidation
of society. The constitutional rights of all ethnic groups are not infringed.
In the republic they open their national-cultural centers, create the
conditions for the development of languages, open groups and classes in
kindergartens and schools, etc.

The President has repeatedly stressed that, without
public consent, figuratively calling interethnic consent "life-giving
oxygen" it is impossible to develop a stable state, strengthen a human

the Nation in the era of grand political-ideological and socio-economic change;
