President Nazarbayev unveils Nurly zhol park in E Kazakhstan

    Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev has unveiled today a new park Nurly Zhol in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Kazinform reports.
    The new park appeared on a waste land and was designed taking into account modern trends in landscape design. Now the park has a drama theater, a school and a rehabilitation center.
    Architect Sarsen Siitov revealed plans to build a huge residential complex in the area. The new park also boasts the Nurly zhol monument consisting of two steles and symbolizing two continents - Europe and Asia. The steles are roofed under one shanyrak with an eagle soaring above it. The eagle is made of leaf gold.
    While in the city, President Nazarbayev also attended an architectural exhibition showcasing 2,000 artifacts found during the excavations of Shiliktinsk burial mounds in Zaisan, in Berel burial mounds and at Ablaikit pagoda.
    Talking to labour unions, heads of agricultural associations and enterprises, Nursultan Nazarbayev noted that much has already been done in Kazakhstan, the country is developing, but there is much yet to do, Kazinform reports.
    According to the President, "there are so many lands in the country, and as far as there is no advanced processing, we sell cheap raw materials".
    "We can process wheat and sell it as macaroni. We still do not process meat, milk, vegetables and oilseeds to the full extent. The country has meat processing plants, dairies, however their load does not exceed 40 percent on average. When I saw into the problem, it turned out that there is not any raw material. Actually, there is, but it needs to be delivered and handed over so that to get the money for the products. If we develop cooperation, then this system will work out. There will be an operating organization that will link producers and consumers together," the Head of State noted.
    The road that will run throughout Kazakhstan and connect China with Western Europe is under construction now. According to the President of Kazakhstan, this route is a new opportunity for the farmers working in East Kazakhstan. Using that road, agrarians will deliver their products to the largest cities of the country.
    As it has been already noted, the Head of State opened a new park "Nurly Zhol" in the left-bank district of Ust-Kamenogorsk town today as part of his working visit to East Kazakhstan region. There, he saw the exhibition of the archaeological artifacts found in the sacred places of the region. In addition, Nursultan Nazarbayev talked to the public of the town and the leaders of the large industrial enterprises that invested their own assets for the new park construction. The Head of State also visited the Pilot Farm of Oilseeds, where he got aware not only of its scientific and production potential, but also communicated with the agrarians of the region.
