The heads are paying regular visits to each other. We have both presidential and ministerial meetings.
However, economic relations are not brisk due to transport problems, but we have always considered Kazakhstan partner under the security treaty.
Fate has willed that the nation is scattered all round the globe, which is why Armenia not only applauds the Kazakh repatriate programme but also wants to make use of it in the homeland.
Ashot Dzhazoyan, writer, script writer says Kazakhs are a great and tolerant nation.
Kazakhstan is a wonderful role-model for the whole world.
He congratulated Kazakhstanis on Independence Day and want you to consolidate tolerance and be open to the entire world, to become part of world civilization.
