U. S. Government's Position On Kazakhstan's Proposed National Referendum to Extend President Nazarbayev's Term in Office

We are closely following the proposal by Kazakhstani citizens and government officials to hold a national referendum to extend the term of President Nazarbayev until 2020.  Kazakhstan reaffirmed its commitment to move forward on democracy when as Chairman-in-Office it hosted the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe summit in Astana on December 1-2.  We believe a national referendum that would replace the presidential elections guaranteed by Kazakhstan's constitution would be a setback for democracy in Kazakhstan.  We think that it is important that Kazakhstan's government and citizens honor their international commitments and continue to strive for free and fair elections.
