President can not set wrong targets for next generations of politicians: N. Nazarbayev
ASTANA. January 31. KAZINFORM "Dear compatriots, I am sincerely grateful to all Kazakhstanis for placing confidence in me. I am grateful to all initiators, deputies of the Parliament, Kazakhstan-2020 National Coalition of Democratic Forces," President Nursultan Nazarbayev has said in his address to the people of Kazakhstan today in Akorda.
"There is no a higher appraisal for me than the people's support. I am sure the initiators of the referendum were concerned not only about prolongation of the President's powers but also about continuation of the country's policy aimed at ensuring people's prosperity, strengthening stability and accord in our society.
On one side, I can not reject the national initiative coming from the vast majority of our voters. However, on the other hand, being the President and the guarantor of the Constitution I can not create a precedent that would set wrong targets for the next generations of politicians. I hope people will understand me correctly", the President said.
