A car rally dedicated to Republic Day was held
in the Kazakh capital. Motorists in 30 cars, following a good tradition, drove along
the main streets of Astana. In total, they covered about 30 kilometers in their
vehicles, each adorned with the country’s
sky-blue flag. According to the participants, this festive caravan became a
symbol of patriotism that united the city’s residents in their aspiration to
strengthen national values and unity. The organizers noted that the event
attracted significant attention from the public and youth. It bears noting that
similar motor rallies will take place in all regions of the country.
«Today’s car rally aims to demonstrate to the
residents and guests of the city the scale of the Republic Day celebrations.
Therefore, the cars will not only participate in a procession but also carry
our national flag through the most beautiful places in the city. Another of our
main goals is to promote the main national symbols among the population,» said Tastemir
Akulan, the head of the department, Youth and Family Affairs Committee.
«Today we celebrate Republic Day, one of the
grandest occasions in Kazakhstan. I extend my congratulations to every resident
and guest of the country on this holiday. These events should be held as often
as possible so that people remember, honor, and celebrate them. Today, we proudly
drive in a column with Kazakhstan’s national flag displayed on our cars. This
is our country, and we are ready to raise the sky-blue flag at every event; it
is our pride,» noted Anatoly Bondar, President of the Astana Automotosport
Federation.
