For Russia or for Turkey?

          Due to the aggravation of Russian-Turkish relations, Kazakh society was divided into three camps: for Russia, for Turkey, for no one.

          I’ll try to explain my position.

Unity in diversity

          We are so different: red and dark, tall and low, fat and thin, funny and sad.

          Some of us like beshbarmak, others – he, some dance the polka, others – lezginka, some wear a skullcap, others – a papakha.

Rich and poor

           With the development of market relations in any society, a stratification of the rich and poor is inevitable. It is natural as well as the fact that some of us are smarter, others are sillier, some are more goal-oriented, others are lazier, some are braver, others are more cautious.

Kazakh names of legal entities

        I think many will agree that we have some confusion in our country in the field of Kazakh terminology and the translation of certain foreign words into the Kazakh language. This also applies to official government bodies. At present, when registering legal entities, there is no system of authenticity for writing company names in two languages. …

Queues

          I never understood people who having stood for hours in the queue, pushing their elbows, fainting, hurry to buy a new iPhone on the first day of sales or see Star Wars on the day of the premiere, or to have a cup of coffee in the new Starbucks on the opening day.
