President Tokayev congratulates Kazakh citizens on Amal holiday

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev congratulated the nation on the Amal holiday, the precursor to Nauryz. According to ancient tradition, on this day, people visit relatives and loved ones to check on their well-being after the long winter, while the youth receive blessings from the elders. As the Head of State highlighted, through such customs, the people have long instilled qualities like friendliness, empathy, and compassion in the younger generation. Today, in modern Kazakhstan, this is reflected in the concept of Adal Azamat («an honest citizen» in Kazakh). And the tradition of korisu (in Kazakh, meaning to meet each other) has once again become a nationwide practice.
