The first border town was opened
in Astana. A unique training facility has been established at the Batyrlar
military-patriotic center, where schoolchildren will receive training that
could lead them to pursue a future in the military. The idea to build a
specialized town was supported by the National Security Committee. As a result,
the site now includes a border tower, a control strip, and the state emblem of
Kazakhstan.
«We aim to recruit two combat training
instructors, one instructor for educational work, one for tactical medicine,
and the head of the military-patriotic center. It is planned to attract
around 200 students who aspire to become officers, dedicate themselves to
military service, or simply prepare for army service. We are well-equipped to
accommodate and train them at a high level,» said Amanzhol Orazbayev, reserve
colonel of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan.
There are a lot of young people willing to
learn the intricacies of border service and become defenders of the Fatherland.
Aidina Nurgali admits that it was her dream to study in such a place.
«It has long been my dream and goal. I
came here to find my place in life. At first, it was hard. But then I got used
to it and prepared myself. I believe that if a person has a sense of
patriotism, he or she will start absorbing new knowledge and skills,» said
Nurgali.
In the future, other ministries and agencies
are also planning to open towns in the Batyrlar center, in particular, the Defense
Ministry, the Interior Ministry, and the National Guard. Appropriate
land plots have already been allocated for this purpose.
