Ethnic Uzbeks offered to move from South to North of Kazakhstan

Ethnic Uzbeks are offered to move from South to North of Kazakhstan, Kazakh media reported. 

Within the framework of the state program “Enbek” for the development of productive employment and mass entrepreneurship in 2017-2021, over the past four years, 881 families (3,377 people) have moved to the northern regions.

An advocacy group led by Beysen Tajibayev, the First Deputy Chairman of the Turkestan regional branch of the Party Nur Otan, met with residents of the Karabulak village.

During the meeting, he called on the Uzbek diaspora to take an active part in the implementation of the “Enbek” program. 

“Karabulak is the most densely populated village in the country. More than 60,000 people live there. But this year only one family moved to the North from here. The project provides for the provision of resettled land for growing crops, livestock. Over 400,000 hardworking Uzbeks live in our region, if they take an active part in the state program, the population will be provided with work and housing. Northern regions will flourish. Many problems could be solved,” Tajibayev believes. 

The press release states that such a meeting, which is of great strategic importance, was held for the first time among representatives of the Uzbek ethnic group. As a result, 52 families expressed a desire to move to the northern regions.

The first deputy head of the regional branch of the party instructed the responsible leaders to organize widespread propaganda of the program in each aul of the Sairam district, the total population of which exceeds 210,000 people.
