The congratulation is on the website of Akorda.

"Dear Compatriots!

I heartily congratulate all Orthodox Christians of our country on Christmas!

This bright holiday is an example of lasting traditions of humanism, compassion, mercy, love and care for one's neighbour as the palladium of the modern universe.

Orthodox Christians of our republic make their significant contribution to preserve peace and harmony in our common Kazakh home.

One of the key principles of the national policy is a respectful and careful attitude to the religious feelings of citizens. Therefore, we have managed to maintain peace and harmony, to achieve recognized successes in the economy and social development.

On this day, I would like to once again express my gratitude for the tireless work of everyone for the good of our Motherland, good deeds, wise thoughts and bright ideas.

I wish well-being and prosperity, love and welfare, peace and happiness in every house, to everyone and every citizen of  Kazakhstan!"
