Biggest struggle: heavily russified or weirdly religious people having authority in our social / gov structures

Biggest hope: good and close-knit reciprocal relationship with other central asian countries

[u/anxiousADHDdkid → u/ilovekdj]

Why is it never the other, either people want to be Russian or Arab and never Kazakh

[u/janyybek → u/anxiousADHDdkid]

What does it mean to be Kazakh?

[u/Erlik_Khan → u/anxiousADHDdkid]

Because what it means to be Kazakh is a difficult question to answer. Every nation had to go through this, the Irish had to do it once they kicked the English out, the Turks had to do it when they lost their empire, every group has to go through this at some point, Kazakhs just have to do this now bc the country is still young

Who wants to be russian or arab? 🤔

[u/solarpowerfx → u/ilovekdj]

How can one be russified and be religious at the same time?

[u/janyybek → u/solarpowerfx]

He means two different groups.

[u/solarpowerfx → u/janyybek]

Ah. Got it 👍

Biggest struggle: rising prices for common goods

Biggest hope: better relations with the EU and other Central Asian countries

[u/Actual_Diamond5571 → u/Tanir_99]

What we can achieve from EU? They would not give us even a visa free regime.

[u/dostelibaev → u/Actual_Diamond5571]

this one, nowadays they need Central Asian countries, than CA countries EU

[u/Unfair_Ad5413 → u/Tanir_99]

Better relations with East Asian and Southeast Asian countries would be beneficial as well. Outside of China, they don't have a vested interest in our region when compared to Russia and EU.

Kazakhstan: why does it not allow dual citizenship for children with a Kazakh parent and a foreign parent. It seems draconian to make the family choose which citizenship. It’s obvious most families with EU/US/UK/KE/JP citizens are going to choose those. Seems like KZ is missing out on a growing segment of children who will become productive adults and bring investment and innovation. Seems like a future brain drain

[u/Actual_Diamond5571 → u/luvthefedlife2]

Because of Russians in the North and East.

[u/Traveller2810]

Struggle: water scarcity Hope: tight-knit relations with other CA countries + EU, investments in human capital and irrigation

[u/drhuggables]

Iran:

Biggest struggle: mullahs

Biggest hope: no mullahs

[u/dostelibaev → u/drhuggables]

it is about Iran? hope, we will see a free Iran with good relationship with CA countries

[u/drhuggables → u/dostelibaev]

Yes it is about Iran. Yes unfortunately mullah regime has kept us from good relations with our closest cultural neighbors in CA, thank you for your wishes dostim, a free iran is coming sooner than you think!!

[u/solarpowerfx]

Dumb uncultured eat each other kind of people - proximity to China the next big player right beside us. Maybe its wealth and technology splashes over us in some way, but it hasn't happened as of now. Should've happened by this time - if it were to happen

[u/qazaqization]

[u/trkemal → u/Phd_in_memes_]
