 - I know that independence is absolute benefit for Kazakhstan. Independence came to Kazakhstan through struggle, these are activities of Alash, activities of Kazakh intellectuals and the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev for the preservation of peace and deterrence of independence. I wish everyone to love our Motherland Kazakhstan, to preserve independence and to be patriots of our state. Kazakhstan is one of the most magnificent places in the world by its territory and beauty, there are all geographical zones. I congratulate our people on Independence Day, we should be proud that we are citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan! 

Kulyaisha Kabdulievna Aktayeva, Deputy Director of the Museum of the First President RK, Candidate of Historical Sciences

 - On behalf of the Museum of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan I would like to congratulate all the people on the upcoming holiday — Independence Day! When we say that it was the dream of many generations, we, probably, do not always pay a proper attention to the celebration of that day. For that time the new generation of Kazakhstan people has grown, they fortunately do not know those dramatic moments with which our history is connected. Thus, we have to think about the filling of the meaning of this word and about the fact that our society is open for the perception of some new horizons, new possibilities, which appear thanks to the Independence. That is why I wish prosperity and new achievements to our people, our society, also wish peace and wellbeing in each house!

Thus, I wish our country only peace, no war, success at work, personal life, luck, welfare to each family, and development to our country!
