It has a population of around 188,000 people. In modern times it has been known for its oil and gas fields and production of rice, while historically it was one of the centers of the Silk Road. The city is on the Syr Darya River, which is one of the rivers that use to flow into the Aral Sea, before it was diverted to irrigate the desert, therefore contributing to the drying up over time of the Aral Sea. Some of the older children were also concerned the issues around the drying up of the Aral Sea.

  • COVID-19 Central Asia Infographic Series
    COVID-19 in Central Asia: Infographic Series KAZAKHSTAN Kazakhstan first announced a state of emergency and imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 16 to May 11. As cases started to climb after the lockdown lifted, and new data collection methods pointed to more 78,486 49,488 585 infections in the country than previously counted, the Total Confirmed Recovered Deaths government announced a second nationwide lockdown COVID-19 Cases from July 5 to August 2. Kazakhstan has the highest Source: JHU number of COVID-19 infections relative to population size in Central Asia. Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana) Atyrau Tengiz Oil Field Almaty IMPACT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR COVID-19 is the biggest shock to Kazakhstan's economy in two decades, and has had a negative impact on economic growth. The economy is heavily reliant on foreign investment through ongoing oil, gas, and infrastructure projects. The Tengiz Oil Field in the Atyrau region has reported upwards of 2,000 cases of COVID-19 among 36 shift camps and 57 companies operating in the field. Chevron-led Tengizchevroil owns the site, and has temporarily paused non-essential work activities in an attempt to slow the spread of cases. Entry restrictions may affect the movement of migrant workers staffing the project site. The capital, Nur-Sultan, and Kazakhstan's financial hub, Almaty, have led the count in confirmed cases of COVID-19. Hospitals in both major cities are reportedly nearing full capacity, and may be unavailable to new patients. In Nur-Sultan, the Presidential Hospital and City Hospital #2 recently resumed some level of surgical and other services, opening up access to acute trauma care.

  • Kazakhstan Chapter
    KAZAKHSTAN USCIRF STATUS: Tier 2 BOTTOM LINE: Although the Kazakh government promotes religious tolerance at the international level, its restrictive 2011 religion law bans unregistered religious activity and has been enforced through police raids, detentions, and major fines. The law’s onerous registration requirements have led to a sharp drop in the number of registered religious groups, both Muslim and Protestant. 1| USCIRF 2013 Annual Report KAZAKHSTAN Religious freedom conditions in Kazakhstan deteriorated in 2012. In late 2011, the Kazakh government adopted a repressive new religion law, which resulted in a sharp drop in the number of registered religious groups in 2012. Unregistered religious activity is illegal, and the activities of registered groups are strictly regulated. During the reporting period, religious organizations were closed and religious activity was penalized with police raids, short-term detentions, fines, and other penalties. Based on these concerns, in 2013 USCIRF places Kazakhstan on Tier 2 for the first time. The Commission has reported on Kazakhstan in its Annual Reports since 2008. BACKGROUND Kazakhstan, as befits a country which is home to a wide array of ethnic groups, was once considered one of the most liberal countries in post-Soviet Central Asia regarding religious freedom. Over the past five years, however, conditions have steadily deteriorated due to a growing array of repressive laws and policies, as well as government action against peaceful religious practice deemed “illegal.” Despite commitments by President Nazarbaev to promote “traditional” faiths domestically and internationally, he has overseen actions against religious freedom. The Kazakh government has also used deadly force against public protests, such as in December 2012 when police killed 16 striking oil workers in the western city of Zhanaozen.

    HISTORY 1913 FIRST MINING WORKS IN ZHEZKAZGAN The first large-scale mining works started on the Zhezkazgan copper deposit. Processing of copper ore into finished products was performed at Sarysuiskaia Enrichment Factory by Spasskoe JSC, which was headed by the Englishman Leslie Urkart. The company was nationalized after the October Revolution in the 1920s. 1928 OPENING OF THE KONYRAT COPPER DEPOSIT Academician Mikhail Petrovich Rusakov discovered the Konyrat copper deposit, which became the basis of the Balkhash complex. LAUNCH OF KARSAKPAI COPPER SMELTER First non-ferrous metallurgy of Kazakhstan. On October 18, the first coarse copper from Zhezkazgan ores was issued. 1929 GEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION OF ZHEZKAZGAN In 1927 the work of K.I. Satpaev “Karsakpaiskii raion i ego perspektivy” [Karsakpaiskii region and its prospects] was published. There the scientist proves the fundamentality and importance of the study and exploration of the Zhezkazgan deposit. In 1929, the geological exploration was entirely entrusted to the scientist. By the end of 1931, a team of geologists led by K.I. Satpayev had proved the presence of large deposits of copper in Zhezkazgan, many times greater than the predictions of the Geological Committee. 1934 Launch of the Konyrat mine. 1937 Balkhash heat and power plant (BTETS) was put in operation. 1938 OPENING OF BALKHASH COPPER SMELTER In April 1931, the board of Tsvetmetzoloto of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of the USSR decided on the construction of a pyrometallurgical plant in the area of Lake Balkhash.
