Ótken joly "Financial Times" basylymy Qazaqstannyng Astanasy jemqorlyq pen maqtanqúmarlyqqa jol ashatyn joba degen auanda maqala jariyalaghan bolatyn.

Oghan Úlybritaniyadaghy bas elshimiz Erlan Ábilfayyzúly jauap beripti. Sóitip ol óz jauabynda Britan basylymy jazghanday, Qazaqstanda, әsirese, Astanada Nazarbaev kuliti joq ekendigin, búl tújyrymnyng sandyraq ekenin aitypty.

Biz aghylshyn tilinde jariya bolghan Ydyrysov myrzanyng "Qazaq halqy ózining jana Astanasymen sheksiz maqtanady" atty jauap maqalasyn qazaq tiline audarghandy jón kórdik.

-Ser, 27 jeltoqsanda jariya bolghan "El astanasy maqtanqúmarlyq jobagha ainalghanda" atty sizding redaksiyanyng maqalasy eshbir dәlelsiz-aq, "Qazaqstan Astanasy - jemqorlyqqa jol ashatyn maqtanqúmarlyq joba" degendi núsqap túr... (preziydentting portretimen) әrlengen. Shyndyq mýlde basqa.

Sir, Your editorial “When a national capital becomes a vanity project” (December 27) asserts, without any supporting evidence, that Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan, is a “vanity project with ample scope for corruption . . . plastered with [the president’s] portrait”. The truth is different.

1997 jyly memleketting jana astanasyn elding ortalyq aimaghynda qúru turaly sheshim naqty qauipsizdik mәselelerine baylanysty qabyldandy: Almaty - seysmologiyalyq qauipti aimaqta, Shyghystaghy shekaragha óte jaqyn ornalasqan. Onyng ýstine, Astanany salu tәuelsizdik alghan Qazaqstannyng Stalin qughyndaghan adamdar men sayasy tútqyndar aidaugha týsken jәne qyrghiy-qabaq soghysynda 500-den astam yadrolyq synaqtar jasalghan sovettik kezeninen arylugha mýmkindik berdi.

The decision in 1997 to establish the new Kazakh capital in the central part of the country was based on genuine security concerns: Almaty sits on a seismologically active zone very close to the country’s eastern border. The founding of the new capital Astana, moreover, offered post-Independence Kazakhstan an opportunity to make a clean break from its Soviet past as a dumping ground for political prisoners and entire peoples despised by Stalin and, later, as a cold war test area for more than 500 nuclear weapons.

1999 jyly Astanada 281 000 adam túratyn. 2007 jyly adam sany 600 000-gha jetti. Astanada qazir millionnan astam halyq túrady jәne jan sany kýn sanap ósude. Basqasyn aitpaghanda, astanalyqtar jap-jana "Opera" teatrymen maqtanady.  Búl maqtanqúmarlyq joba emes.

In 1999 Astana had a population of 281,000. By 2007 it had doubled to 600,000. Today, more than 1m people live in the city, which is still growing fast and boasts a beautiful state-of-the art opera house, among many other things. This is not the trajectory of a vanity project.

Qazaq halqy preziydent Núrsúltan Nazarbaevpen birge osynday jetistikterge jetkenine maqtanady. Al qala júrty  "kulit túlghanyng bodanynda" dep boljam jasau -  Londonnyng Parlament alanynda ornatylghan Uinston Cherchilliding eskertkishine qarap osynday oy týymen birdey sandyraq.

Kazakhs are immensely proud of this extraordinary achievement, led by President Nursultan Nazarbayev. But to suggest that the city is in thrall to a cult of his personality is as absurd as drawing a similar conclusion from the presence of a statue to Sir Winston Churchill in London’s Parliament Square.

Astana - Qazaqstannyng keleshektegi mýmkindikterining simvoly. Onda ótken EKSPO-2017-de "Bolashaq Energiyasy" atty ómirlik manyzdy taqyryptyng ayasynda 115 shtat, 22 Halyqaralyq úiym men 4 millionnan astam turist bas qosty. Men sizderding kóptegen oqyrman jazyq dalada payda bolghan osynau shahar jayly tebirenisti oilaryn bólisuge keledi degenge shyn senemin.

Astana is a fitting symbol for the future potential of Kazakhstan. Its hosting of Expo 2017 saw 115 states, 22 international organisations and more than 4m visitors come together under the vitally important theme of “Future Energy”. I sincerely hope that many of your readers also will come to share our wonder at the emergence of this remarkable city on the Steppe.

Ayta keteyik, 27 jeltoqsanda Britan basylymy jariyalaghan "Memleket astanasy maqtanqúmarlyq jobasyna ainalghan kezde" dep atalatyn maqalada avtor Egiypet preziydenti Abdel Fattah әl-Sisiyding elding jana әkimshilik astanasyn salu turaly úsynys jasaghanyn aityp, oghan astanasyn auystyrghan birneshe elding tәjiriybesinen sabaq alugha kenes bergen.

"Mysyr preziydenti shól dalada jana әkimshilik astana salugha úmtyluda. Preziydenti Abdel Fattah әl-Sisy búl jobanyng Kairdyng 19 million túrghynyna nemese 1000 jyldyq tarihy bar qalagha qanday qiyndyq tughyzatynyn angharmaytyn sekildi. Dese de ol ózge de astana auystyrghan elderding tәjirbiyesine jýginse netti? Mysaly, Australiya, Braziliya nemese Týrkiya...Keyinirekte Qazaqstan men Miyanma bar...", - dep jazady.

"Korrupsiyagha jol ashatyn maqtanqúmarlyq jobanyng sonyna týsuding arasynda avtokratiyalyq rejimdi bayqaugha bolatyn әlsiz aiyrma bar. Qazaqstan preziydenti Núrsúltan Nazarbaevtyng el astanasyn Almatydan asyghys salynghan soltýstiktegi Astanagha kóshiru sheshiminde «Reseyding Qazaqstan territoriyasyna kóz alartuynyng aldyn alu» siyaqty strategiyalyq maqsat boldy. Biraq nәtiyjesinde Astana Nazarbaevtyng ózi úsynyp, halyqaralyq sәuletshilerding basshylyghymen salynghan, preziydentting portretimen kómkerilgen infraqúrylymy bar әlemishke ainaldy" delingen maqalada (The decision by Kazakhstan’s leader Nursultan Nazarbayev to abandon Almaty for a hastily built capital on the country’s empty northern steppe had some strategic merit, to fend off Russian claims to the territory. But the result, Astana, is bizarre: dotted with structures commissioned from international architects, but conceived by the president and plastered with his portrait, from a shopping mall shaped like a nomad’s tent, to a tower that references Kazakh folklore.).
