Boris Dzhaparov, Professor, Director of the Archives of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan:
Today Kazakhstan is an example of successful and sustainable development both for Central Asian and Eurasian countries. This success is determined by the path which the country selects at a critical time in its history, and by its leader who is responsible for the destiny of the whole nation. A strong leader is a key to any political success. However, only the leader who is able to put the interest of the nation, above all else, is a real patriot of his country and the man who devote full energy to serve the nation. Nursultan Nazarbayev is precisely this type of leader."
