This is also an important and good experience," Zhanseit Tuimebayev summed up.
Qazaqtanu is one of the most important projects of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan. Various thematic events are held in the region in order to implement all the tasks set.

For the convenience of studying the state language, representatives of various ethno-cultural associations created a public association "Til Mura".
"Til Mura" is an expression of the desire of representatives of all ethnic minorities of the region, who have a soul for the development and preservation of the state language and the expansion of its application. Knowledge of the state language should become the norm and obligation of every citizen as a patriot supporting his Motherland. And, what is the most important, it is noted that for this purpose we have created all conditions, it is necessary to wish and everyone should start from themselves" noted Mayor of West Kazakhstan region Gali Iskaliyev, also underlining that the next year is full of significant and anniversary dates, such as the 25 anniversary of founding the Assembly.

In the new conditions, the Kazakh people, who have given their proud name to the country, are facing a new historical mission: to become the consolidating center of the unification of the nation.
The nation's spirit is based on millennia-old traditions, values and culture, on language as a part of the people's self-consciousness. It is they who have supported the people for centuries without letting them dissolve into history. Therefore, the revival and development of spirituality, culture, traditions and language is one of the most important areas of work. First of all, it refers to the expansion of the sphere of use of the state language," said Zhanseit Tuimebayev, noting that knowledge of Kazakh language is an incentive for personal competitiveness and active participation in public life.
