"The foundations of Kazakhstan's independence were laid back in the early twentieth century by the leaders of the Alash movement. The range of problems that were raised and solved by the Alashordians is huge. These are issues of language and culture, state borders, agricultural issues and much more. Their contribution to Kazakhstan's statehood is invaluable. However, the history of this movement and its spiritual legacy still require detailed research. We hope that today's event will also contribute to further study of "Alash" movement, as this phenomenon has left an indelible mark in the memory of the nation", - said in his welcoming speech Dulat Zhukenov, Deputy Director of the Presidential Center of the Department of Presidential Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
