Nursultan Nazarbayev, President of Kazakhstan:
- As the Supreme Commander, I am personally working on this question. Recently I asked the defence ministry and the government to tackle these issues. In our army, the salary is bigger than all the countries of the CIS and I believe that we should keep this priority.

By the end of this year, the defence ministry is planning to construct 54 buildings and it has already commissioned a 184-flat block in Astana as well as 12-flat blocks in Arys, Badan and Zhibek-Zholy. The main event for military personnel though is in Astana.

- In compliance with the president’s request, Astana has witnessed the construction of 129 blocks for 176 flats. Currently, we are witnessing the commissioning of these units and on the 16th of December, 176 families will receive flats.
