I went to go looking for Kazakh news today and I saw something rather humorous. Apparently someone in the Kazakh parliament wanted to rename the capital of Kazakhstan, which is currently Astanta, to Nursultan, in honor of President Nazarbayev (it's his first name). This was met with overwhelming support within the parliament but was turned down by Nazarbayev, who felt that the decision whould wait until another generation can deal with it.
What I saw as more humorous was the total negative stance the newspaper took against it. It was blatantly obvious that the article was against Nazarbayev and the party. They show his presidency as almost a dictatorship rather then a democracy, with him dealin with the wrong problems. It seems that no matter where you go, there is always going to be criticism no matter how popular you are.

It is extremely true no one can ever be happy. Every political party will always criticized for one reason or the other. What I found funny was the fact that someone would even want to change the name of the capital and name it after the current dictator/ president. How is it that they make such a suggestion. I mean honestly at least wait until the guy is dead like everyone else does. I dont know just a thought.
