72. The history of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The further development of society was impossible by the law of the formal union republics. It was necessary to make cardinal changes in the state fundamental legal bases. The first constitution (the main law) of the Republic of Kazakhstan was accepted on 28 January 1993. The first Constitution of Republic consist of 131 articles with 21 parts and 4 chapters. According to the Constitution, the Republic of Kazakhstan proclaimed itself as a democratic, secular, legal and unitary state whose highest value are an individual, his life, rights and freedom. The acceptance of the Constitution had a great political meaning. Kazakhstan was rebuilt as a unified, independent and democratic state. The first Constitution was examined and accepted in difficult, contradictory condition. Various political powers tried to affect on its preparing process. That document historically functioned as the main law for two years, in spite of some unrealized opportunities and adaption to concrete periods of the country’s development.

The new Constitution was accepted at the republican referendum on 30 August in 1995, which was carried out by suggestion of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Some mistakes and faults of the Constitution of 1993 were reconsidered. The structure, function and relations of the legislative, executive and judicial authorities of the republic were clearly defined in the new Constitution. Acceptance of that constitution brought to an end the process of formation of Kazakhstan as Presidential Republic.

73. The fates of the leaders of AlashOrda government.

A political persecution of the “Alash” party participants was gradually reinforced with the strengthening of the totalitarian regime. A supercharging of the situation grew as a general occurrence by the end of 20s. 44 people of so called “bourgeois nationalists” – the former figures of the “AlashOrda” were arrested on a false accusation at the end of 1928. They were figures like Baytyrsynov A., Dulatov M., Zhymabaev M., AimauytovZh., GabbasovKh, and others. The other group of national intelligentsia (about 40 people) consisting of TynyshbaevM.,Dosmykhambetov KH., AkhbaevZh. etc. was arrested in September-October in 1930. Almost all of them were subjected to repression in 1937-1938.

Goryachev, a divisional military lawyer, pronounced capital sentences every day from February 25 to March 13 in 1938. 39 people were sentenced to be shot in February 25, 37 people in February 26, 41 people in February 27; 40 people in February 28 and so the scores of Kazakh intelligentsia were annihilated (истреблять) until March 13 inclusive in that way.

74) Kazakhstan as the successful experience of multiethnic state.

Kazakhstan has good chances to build a successful multi-ethnic state in the Central Asia, OSCE High Commissioner for National Minorities Knut Vollebaek said.

"The authorities and people are very much aware of the complexity of those issues and they devote a lot of attention to minority matter unlike many other countries," Vollebaek said in his interview with Trend News.

He said Kazakhstan has tried a number of innovative approaches, like multilingualism, the Assembly of People and searching for ways in which minorities could be represented in the policy making.

Kazakhstan's Assembly of People is an institute to promote inter-ethnic and inter-faith consent. It contributes to formation of Kazakh model of poly-ethnic society.

Priority directions of the Assembly of Peoples, which marked 15th anniversary in May, is to strengthen statehood, protect human rights and freedoms of the people and the state and to shift to a qualitatively new level of development that meets the requirements of a civilized world community.

Kazakhstan has an official bilingualism: Kazak and Russian languages.

Many of those attempts have to be evaluated after some time, Vollebaek said.

"This is very important as minority issues are not static but they evolve with time," he said.

I think the country will greatly contribute to discussions in the OSCE family about issues that

concern integration and tolerance which are of utmost importance not only for Kazakhstan but for the whole world, Vollebaek said.

Kazakhstan can still improve some legislation and should reassure minorities that no changes implemented over night, he said.

Kazakhstan is home to about 120 ethnic groups and nationalities, principal among which are Uighurs, Russian, Uzbeks, Tatars, Germans, Koreans, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Jews, Azerbaijanis, Chechens and Ingush, Poles, Turks, Armenians, Greeks and Kurds.

Vollebaek debated population's concerns about change of geographic names with Kazakh authorities. He said he was assured that there was a moratorium on these changes and

that the leadership is very much aware of the sensitivity of this topic. If there should be changes in the future they will only do them in consultation with the population

He cited several examples of countries where two different place names exist

side by side depending on the two communities who live in a certain place.

This could be a creative solution and I try in my work to find a tailor made

solution to challenges that might exist in a given context, he said.

"Year 2010 will be a fascinating year and it will be very interesting to follow

the decisions and deliberations that Kazakhstan will bring to our Organization to

solidifying and fostering OSCE principles," Vollebaek said.

According to the 1999 estimate of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Statistics, almost 15 million people representing 120 ethnic groups lived in the country. Among them were nearly 8 million Kazakhs, more than 4 million Slavic and non-Slavic Russians, 547,000 Ukrainians, 353,000 Germans, and 249,000 Tatars, and 1 million people belonging to other ethnic minorities. The population of the country has a high percentage of people with bi-ethnic and multi-ethnic backgrounds.
