Kazakhstan Celebrates Constitution Day

by ANKASAM Ekip

Kazakhstan commemorates the day its constitution came into effect on Aug. 30. On this date in 1995, the fundamental law of Kazakhstan was adopted at a national referendum.

This document replaced the first 1993 Constitution, introducing a strong presidential system with considerable executive powers. It was a significant step in consolidating the country’s sovereignty and legal framework.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev extended his congratulations to the people of Kazakhstan on this occasion.

“The main law is a solid foundation of our statehood, a reliable guarantor of the progressive and sustainable development of the country,” he said in a congratulatory message on Akorda.kz

“Defining the founding principles of the state and society, the Constitution prioritizes the interests, rights and freedoms of citizens. That is why the goal of all transformations carried out in Kazakhstan is the welfare of the people,” said Tokayev.

The date marks the national values and principles established by the Constitution, which are sovereignty, democracy, and the rule of law. The Constitution guarantees fundamental human rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, assembly, and religion.
