"Mr President, I travel to Kazakhstan quite often, and I can say that my impressions differ from those of Mr Murphy. The development of democracy is a long-term affair, requiring first of all the establishment of the rule of law as a foundation. The Kazakh leadership is striving for this, and on the basis of my discussions with Kazakh citizens, I can say that they value the fact that Kazakhstan is an oasis of stability and secular values in Central Asia. That is the first point. Secondly, I can say that even though this is undoubtedly a state where rather authoritative forms of governance prevail, Kazakhs nonetheless value their President, and this can be seen from the fact that they have now got a per capita GDP level of USD 9 000, compared to USD 400 in 1991 when Kazakhstan started out as an independent state. I think it will be some time before this country can be compared to European countries, or the EU, but I believe that they are on their way."@en1
