On the 18th, The first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, addressed the people of kazakhstan for the first time since the large-scale riots in the country in January. He said the events of January shocked the whole of Kazakhstan and that the organized riots and attacks were aimed at destroying the integrity and foundations of the country. This incident showed that independence must be treated as preciously as protecting the eyes. This tragic event is a lesson for all. It is important to find the organizers of this riot, and the survey will give the answer.

Nazarbayev also said he handed over the presidency to Tokayev in 2019 and has since received a pension as a retiree and is currently on vacation in the Kazakh capital Nur-Sultan, without going anywhere. Tokayev is the president of Kazakhstan, the chairman of the State Security Council, and will also be elected chairman of the "Light of the Fatherland" party. Rumors of conflict and confrontation in the core leadership are completely unfounded.

Nazarbayev also noted that for 30 years he has been working for the country, consolidating borders, carrying out reforms, establishing an independent Kazakhstan, achieving great achievements in social and economic development, becoming a leader not only in Central Asia, but also in many areas of the CIS region. The stability of the country has always been his goal, and Kazakhstan will surely survive the crisis and become stronger.

Nazarbayev also stressed that President Tokayev's proposal of a new reform plan aimed at improving the well-being of the people requires everyone's support. (Reporters Wang Bin, Wang Delu, Cao Shengji)
