Astana to mark Day of Unity of Kazakhstan People

A concert program organized by national-cultural centers and creative tams of the city will begin after the ceremonial opening.

The events will be held at the square near Baiterek Monument, at the Motherland Defenders Monument and at the square opposite the Ministry of Finances.

According to the organizers, celebration of the holiday in Astana will be held in the spirit of harmony and unity of all ethnic groups living in the capital city of Kazakhstan, because Astana is not only a model of political and economic changes, it is also the city where representatives of 100 nationalities live in friendship. More than 25 national cultural centers are functioning in the city to date.

In 1996 the Head of the State decreed to announce May 1 the Day of Unity of Kazakhstan People.
