75 Kazakh literary and artistic figures have been
awarded a state scholarship in the field of culture. State Counselor Erlan
Karin presented the scholarship to Asanali Ashimov, Ilya Zhakanov, Bibigul
Tulegenova, Nurgali Nusipzhan, Tolen Abdik, and others. State support was also
provided to young talents, including Cannes Film Festival laureate Samal
Yeslyamova, ballet dancer Tatyana Ten, and opera soloist Maksat Samatov.
Notably, this annual scholarship reflects the state’s support and appreciation
for cultural figures who have contributed to the development and global
promotion of Kazakh art. It also facilitates the realization of new ideas and
creative projects.
«Art educates people,
forming moral consciousness and influencing the best human qualities. That is
why people need it. The true wealth of a society lies not in its industrial
output but in a more valuable indicator – the spiritual richness of its citizens,»
said People’s Writer of Kazakhstan Tolen Abdik.
«It is a great honor
for me to be here among the distinguished figures who have made an invaluable
contribution to the development of Kazakhstan’s culture. This high award is
also a significant motivation for me — to not stop at what has been achieved, to
continue developing, and to contribute to the advancement of our culture,» shared
Tatyana Ten, leading soloist of the Astana Ballet theatre.
