including Bauyrzhan Momyshuly, Rakhimzhan Koshkarbayev, Talgat Bigeldinov,
Aliya Moldagulova, Manshuk Mametova, and many others, all made an invaluable
contribution to our path to victory,” said Bakhytzhan Yertayev, Head of the Tayelsiz

“I’d like to extend my congratulations to all Kazakh citizens on this

happiness and, above all, that such difficult times never recur. The bravery of
our heroes will never be forgotten,” said Kazakh Prosecutor General Berik
