for twenty nine years no small time as a by f. has been front and center of public life in kazakstan but that changed a week ago when he announced he was handing the presidency to cassim joe talk a yes a trusted loyalist his decision shocked kazakstan and central asia his how and that's a by f. to his resignation. sure. today i appeal to you as i always did in the important moments in the history of our state which we have built and are building together but my appeal today is special i have made it difficult decision to retire from responsibility of the president of the cossacks non-republican that is public figures of storm here no they don't startle so i was granted the status of the first president leader of the nation i remain chairman of the security council to which the law grants serious power in determining interior and foreign policy i remain chairman of the no party and

a member of the constitutional council. one of the first major decisions by nasa by your successor was to rename catholic stance capital on saturday a new small town became the new name for ass donna a city that was rebuilt into one of central asia is because trade and tourism hobbs' by s. rule but what does the surprise handover of the presidency after three decades me for young people in cabinet start to talk about this we have. of editor in chief of step that's an independent digital media outlet he joins us from almaty or so now what is i got into line you know how nova a freelance journalist who has a written widely on kazakh politics colleague ash is a researcher at advocate on gender rights and sex education she joins us from mosul tam kazakh capital recently named from aston and from prague we have total cooled

off he is has a service director radio free europe radio liberty good to have you here everybody high much nineteen or you're not going to get to that date in a hurry hello everybody so you get to have your that date set in your memory i'm looking at a tweet here from europe bought didn't have internet connection for the last day the minute i got connected my phone started buzzing i had six hundred. twenty eight i read messages on my whatsapp on the resignation of the press and a catholic stand i was in a state a shop for a second after all has been that all my life has tagged as a biassed torak or what is your story of when you found out how you found out your reaction. was really. a shock the first impression and reaction was for us for many people in our cars are people who have been polling to news and events and us and it has that have been

a shock because as you are. very right to the point of the beginning of the show all the. country and the young people under thirty either have never seen another leader and this is a three day kates when one person on the main position suddenly he announced as the starting down it was that shot and the stock was changed to the next worth probably main the disappointment after their newly appointed. interim president doesn't have much of a gnome's initiated the renaming as name of the capital of to nasm by oath yeah because many people far seen that the all side of cult of personality sure that is some good bike left kind of gas where were you when did you find out that your current president your past president was was about

the handover of power. yes i was actually a location traveling in kurdistan you know as i'm following the news and then my friend texted me and everybody learned this news we're being kept asking me my greatest friends like how do you feel that how is it your prose that step down. a i. kind of don't feel anything right now i. had better wait out and see only time can tell in the next day we had another news which was not that wasn't pleasant as the first news if i can hear you try to sum up that that shocking to an actual article that you wrote for the independent and catholic stomp the last soviet era president has suddenly resigned and this is what it means for my people . i might tell you right now and i want to

know mighty when i read them years it was maybe one hour before actual announcement that the president has urgent at or germs address to the nation so i was a bit intrigued what he has to say because there were several it addresses to the mission previously and sometimes people were weighted with the shocking resignation but it didn't happen so. i wasn't prepared for that when i was least in the first started talking. it was seven zero one pm when he said that he was going to step out and yeah i couldn't believe my ears to be honest and definitely i had some weird mixture of emotions at that time and there. and then after a few days i have thought it over and rode him out

a coat. danny it feels like thought the whole the whole nation was in some kind of trauma and getting over it together and then no sooner did they find out that the president the capital name was changing so on march the twenty second march twenty third people weren't happy they were talking about this let me give you some idea of the comments that people were sharing. the shoes i view rename the city very negatively because the name aston a is a brand i think nursultan is not right at all we have never sold ten st ten university and now the capital city nursultan i think that is over you approach. i am against renaming to newer sultan because us tonight is a world brand everyone knows us enough from expo twenty seventeen zero s c international summit and such things. we are happy that they named the capital after the first president this was day in

history for the next generation to my grandchildren. my. that i wonder if this might be assigning the more so tight it is still going to be a round the former president is still going to be around there still may be some way that he has influence in current politics in kazakstan what do you think. well exactly i totally agree with you in the sense that. in expert community basically everyone was discussing what would be dissin areas and. i think the last year. on the security council has been approved so the president moves now as the chairman of the security council was many important kind of tools at a level just he has or in foreign policy on security and domestic politics as well so now he controls basically all of the key critical areas and will look as the sort of immediate mediator as

a transcendental figure that will basically you know control all the important processes in the country i think think it's really interesting that this is the year of youth in kazakstan exactly everything i've just got here president of the republic of castle standing twenty nine thousand the year he for more than two thousand kaz the students and faculty members gathered at the palace to students for the opening of the east year how's it going so far yes. oh oh. well the u.s. is generally is not interested in politics and i think it's a global threat. there is kind of a kazakhstan logic in this in the sense that the us had lived totally under the while president and they get to use them so what they really think is that well many important issues are solved. where there are enough in the capital and not on

the local level so my opinion is generally disregarded or even more so this is the attitude we have bad you know with this event happening with the resignation of the president i think the they have we have a mind shift now and so people now know that actually this president could leave and that the president put south so there is definitely a new interesting ideas could pop up in their heads how to live and how to talk about politics talk ok. yes i think the person you're mentioned not many things will be changed and we because he mentioned about the security council powerful now one party which has given constitutional power. after the war was into facts last year also plans to cuba sieved to the nuts and most receive the title of first president almost one thousand years

ago and the leader of the nation one years ago. two years ago he was announced as the bus there which means a habit of nation or people in cars out language and it was because of his historic mission he was giving the. lifelong right to a queue of initiatives on state building you mentioned domestic and foreign policy and national security what's more because our state bodies are obliged. now to consume there was a bios proposals and what is very very important was about himself and his family and their property and back accounts have also being given full immunity from prosecution and that isn't that he's also chairman of the ruling party now and. what is interesting that even now interim rather than custom job he's just

a member of that party colleague actually bring you back into the conversation a piece that you wrote quite recently the crisis afflicting kazakstan city youth. and that was that was a little while ago excuse me and you're talking about this crisis for the u.s. but now we're in the year of the year what do you think the biggest issue is for young people. there despite the fact that this is a year if you think now that the government is ready for a politically active youth at least you know the youth knows how to be active when they're of course there are a lot of. young voices now can be heard and i hope there will be positive changes in this but it's just we still have this legacy. we just decide for young people instead of listening to them and letting them. see what they think and how.
