TARAZ. May 10. KAZINFORM - For the first time in the history of our state Kazakhstan has found a clear, internationally recognized borders, says the Senator and former Defense Minister Gen. Mukhtar Altynbayev in Taraz, in a meeting with the officers of the 5th Brigade for Regional Command called "South", explaining the main provisions of the President's Address "Kazakhstan - 2050 " Strategy: A new political course of the established country."

The Senator says that with the independence of Kazakhstan the national leader's strategy is aimed primarily at ensuring the territorial integrity of Kazakhstan, raising the country's defense. "The Epistles of the Supreme National Security reads " Our goal is to preserve the territorial integrity and we have managed to do more than planned. For the first time in the history our country has gained a clear, internationally recognized borders. Delimited state border is 14,000 miles. Kazakhstan is firmly in control of its sector of the Caspian Sea. From now has been removed the threat of any territorial disputes in the future. We have left for their descendants no disputed territories with the neighbors, " he said.

Army General and former Minister of Defence M. Altynbaev reminded the officers of the "South" regional command of the country's armed forces history. "In 90s the budget of the Kazakh Army was only seven and a half billion tenge (KZT), and in the army there were two hundred thousand people," he said. "Then the President targeted us on the establishment of a small in number, but modern equipped and mobile army. Today, we have 70,000 people and a huge budget to KZT 330 billion (tenge). We must remember that it is the people's money that people entrusted to us; we have to serve honorably in defense of our homeland, justifying the confidence of the people. Few post-Soviet states have an army as Kazakhstan has. "

"The creation of such military is possible on the basis of a strong state, a developed economy and the possibilities of universal labor," said the deputy of the Senate of Kazakhstan. "CVery strong state is particularly important to ensure accelerated economic growth. As the President said, we must work purposefully, without losing sight of our primary tasks. Given the new challenges to international security policy, it is necessary to conduct a wide-ranging reform of the border troops of the Armed Forces, to radically modernize the material-technical base. However, unfortunately, there are still unresolved issues that we have to solve, " noted M. Altynbaev.

Member of the Senate of Kazakhstan raised the issue of "zero tolerance to disorder" and corruption. "In the section on reform of criminal procedure Supreme Commander says," The state should follow the principle of zero tolerance for unrest. We do not have to put up with even the smallest offenses, bullying, lack of culture, because it violates the public peace, reduces the quality of life. " Armed forces are able to execute the task. The Address of the Supreme Commander reads: "Corruption is not just the offense, it undermines faith in the efficacy of the state, it is a direct threat to national security." All that the Message of the Supreme Commander has for the military is order. And we need to think about how to perform this task. "

The senator also introduced the soldiers to legislative activities of the Senate: "In 2012, Parliament passed the law # 94. Already this year we are considering about 40 documents. Laws adopted by Parliament are aimed at implementation of the main provisions of the Message of the President. As for the military, it is the law titled "On special state bodies", which is to create a legislative framework governing the activities of special agencies (National Security Committee, a strategic foreign intelligence called "Syrbar" and Presidential Security Service). The law "On military service and the status of military" has been adopted in the new edition at the beginning of the previous year. The purpose of this law is to improve the existing legislation, the removal of legal gaps in the military service and the status of military personnel, providing them with guarantees of social and legal protection. The law has been adopted, the past six months it has been acting. However, the information that I am aware of, there are some things that do not work for some reason, there are issues of concern and make the appropriate changes to. "

Speaking of the Law on the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan been adopted in a new version the Army General M. Altynbaev noted that this document is aimed at improving the legislation on the state border, and a clear distinction between the functions of state bodies in this area. "Many of the new provisions have been made in the law. One of the main ones refers to the Armed Forces. If earlier in the Caspian Sea border guards were responsible for 25-mile zone, the new law sounds that the underwater area of the Caspian Sea are included under the responsibility of the border guards, the guards now have to control the underwater space, ensuring the safety of the Caspian sea " explained the Senator.

The willingness of the Kazakh Army for peacekeeping activities is also reflected in the President's Address. "In section for comprehensive strengthening of the regional National Security it is said: "Kazakhstan should develop its defense capabilities, military doctrine, and participate in the mechanisms of defensive deterrence. We must understand that here we have to be ready for peacekeeping. The Kazakh Army has experience being in Iraq, Afghanistan; it must be ready to perform this task. In developing the national defense model Kazakhstan will work closely with allies in the CSTO to promote capacity building and capability of collective forces, " said the Ex-Minister of Defense.

"The Address of the national leader Nursultan Nazarbayev reads:" I am convinced that Kazakhstan in 2050 will be a society of universal labor, it is the state of a strong economy, where everything is done for an individual, where there is the best education, better health care, where calm prevails, where citizens are free and equal, and holds the power and is subject to the rule of law. If we are strong, the world will reckon with us. If we hope for a miracle or rely on others, we will lose the gains achieved. I believe that a historic opportunity should not be missed by us " says the President. We have created a strong modern army defensible, effective law enforcement system, which ensures the safety of the individual, our society and the state. This political assessment of the President and the Supreme Commander is a down payment to us, soldiers. And we are sure that we, the people in uniform, will confirm this assessment " summed M. Altynbaev.
