	Astana, Kazakhstan: city of black gold. - By Matthew Yeomans - Slate Magazine
		Nazarbayev's government is keen to stress that it will use oil revenues to help diversify the nation's economy.
		In 2001, Nazarbayev also announced the creation of the National Fund, an investment project for oil revenues that would promote social development and maintain a reserve fund to bail out Kazakhstan if the price of oil plummets in the future.
		Nowadays, Nazarbayev seems to be intent on showing his commitment to Kazakhstan's national good by taking a leaf out of Vladimir Putin's state ownership handbook.

		The surveys also show that radical Nazarbayev opponents have been effectively marginalized, and are unlikely to have much political influence in the next legislature.
		Nevertheless, Nazarbayev critics have complained that state-controlled media, along with outlets run by friends and relatives of the president, have manipulated campaign coverage to favor pro-presidential parties.
		Nazarbayev has made repeated public appeals for a clean campaign and election, signaling his desire to reestablish Kazakhstan’s reformist reputation.

	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Parliamentary Vote Poses Test for Electoral Transparency in Kazakhstan
		In recent years, a corruption scandal, known as Kazakhgate, along with the controversial convictions of opposition leaders and an investigative journalist, [for background see the Eurasia Insight archive] have cast doubt on Kazakhstan’s commitment to democratization.
		The president’s desire is reflected by the fact that state television has broadcast a series of debates involving representatives of all major parties.
		A parliamentary vote in Kazakhstan that is deemed largely free of vote-rigging would be considered a political triumph for Nazarbayev.

	j. - Jewish-Muslim dialogue gets a boost in Kazakhstan
		The Jews are profuse in thanking Nazarbayev for allowing their co-religionists to live in peace and security within his domain, and they shower him with praise -- almost to the point of fawning -- for allowing freedom of religion in his land.
		His detractors, of whom there are also more than a few, say "giving Nazarbayev the Jews" helps him gain valuable concessions from the president, and that taking on this cause is good for both his business and his image.
		And Nazarbayev is vigilant in trying to keep a religious Islamic element -- be it from Iran or from the Persian Gulf -- out of his country.

		Nazarbayev kept silent on the case until May, when he called the alleged connection between it and top Kazakh officials "insinuations and a provocation" that unnamed forces and international oil companies were using to pressure his government.
		As Nazarbayev made his first public comment on the "Kazakhgate" case, the country's former Soviet leader announced his intention to seek another term in office.
		Nazarbayev, a former Communist Party boss, has been criticized in recent years for backtracking on reforms in this oil-rich Central Asian nation, which extends from the Caspian Sea to China and is the size of Western Europe.
