Dear East Kazakhstani people!

I sincerely congratulate you on Easter!

This great Christian holiday carries faith, joy, goodness and justice, love and harmony.

Easter unites all of us based on traditional spiritual values, encourages us to do good deeds, compassion and mercy.

I wish you good health, prosperity, peace of mind, well-being and confidence in the present and future.

Now, in the state of emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus infection, I ask you to celebrate the holiday at home in the circle of loved ones and relatives, avoid visiting churches, as you know that love for others and faith, first of all, is in our hearts.

This forced restriction is necessary for our safety, protection of life and health.

Danial Akhmetov, Akim of East Kazakhstan region
