The restoration of a complete picture will help to overcome the fragment nature of the scientific research and re-create the real picture of ethnogenesis of the Kazakh people as well as the formation of states, existing in the vast steppe. We pay great attention not only to the history of the Kazakh people, but also to the history of all the nations who inhabit our country and make a great contribution to the formation and construction of independent Kazakhstan "- the professor said.
