Kazakhstan
After a two-week visit and work in Kazakhstan, journalists from Armenia
filmed 11 hours of material, received a lot of positive emotions and
the will to know more about Kazakhstan. The "Kazakhstan becomes closer
to Armenia" television project is devoted to the 20th anniversary of
Kazakhstan's Independence.
Anna Karapetyan, journalist/analyst, "Armedia" information and
analytical agency: - I felt that Kazakhstan is a very good country for
expatriate communities. All representatives of the Armenian expatriate
community told a lot of positive things about Kazakhstan and said
that they are satisfied with their life here. They have a job,
welfare and the atmosphere of the country does not make them feel
like strangers. Some people say that they are not Armenians, who are
living in Kazakhstan but Kazakhstan people with Armenian origins.
The acquaintance of Armenian journalists with the country started
in the capital city where the film crew observed places of interest
on the Irtysh Left Bank, visited the Palace of Peace and Accord and
the museum of the First President. Additionally, they visited such
universities as the Gumilyov Eurasian University. In an interview with
its chancellor, Bakhytzhan Abdraim, journalists discussed issues of
cultural and humanitarian interaction.
Bakhytzhan Abdraim, chancellor, Eurasian National University: -
We are ready to welcome students, who are studying in the oriental
studies and philosophy departments and who are learning the Kazakh
language. We are ready to support these students.
Irina Aivazyan, journalist/analyst, "Armedia" information and
analytical agency: - I believe that it is quite right. We should launch
a student exchange as well as educational and cultural programmes. We
have visited the "Kazakhfilm" studio and we would like to invite you
to the "Golden Apricot" international film festival in Yerevan. We
would like to see your films.
In Astana, journalists from Armenia were also acquainted with the
state and party structure of the country. In the central department
of the Nur Otan party, the guests were welcomed by the head of the
parliamentary system university. After Astana, the film crew visited
Karaganda, where they met the heads of cultural centres and officials
of the city. In Temirtau, they visited a metallurgy plant.
The filming of their series of reports finished in Almaty, where the
guests visited the "Kazakhfilm" studio, the Shymbulak ski resort and
met with representatives of the Armenian expatriate community.
Tigran Petrosyan, journalist/analyst, "Armedia" information and
analytical agency: - I enjoyed the Almaty mountains very much. When
we landed at the airport, I saw your mountains and wondered how many
Ararat mounts there were. It is very similar to us and that is why
I liked it.
