The Deputy Director of the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic
Studies under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sanat
Kushkumbayev emphasized that the new vision and the proposed
transformations are not tactical, but strategic.
According to the expert, economic changes, which have become one
of the cornerstones of the new policy of Uzbekistan, are of particular
interest; environmental initiatives in the Aral Sea region, a region
critical for Kazakhstan; serious efforts to preserve and popularize
Islamic culture in the region, as well as foreign policy pursued by the
administration of Sh. Mirziyoyev, focused primarily on Central Asia.
According to the expert of the Institute of Oriental Studies of
the Russian Academy of Sciences, PhD in History Science, Professor
Irina Zvyagelskaya, «the message aims to shorten the inevitable
period of uncertainty as much as possible and clearly identify
priorities and methods for achieving the stated goals». According to
her, the need for new impulses for the development of the country
means for the legislative, executive and judicial authorities the need
to move away from the usual stereotypes, start changes from
themselves (which is always especially difficult) and offer a clear,
comprehensive and long-term program of action. The message of
the President can be considered such a program.
The role and significance of the address to highlight reforms in
the judicial system are also noted by the Head of the NGO Regional
Dialogue (Slovenia) Myusa Sever. According to her, « the utmost
importance in the speech of the Head of State is an idea of
strengthening the role of the defense in court proceedings. Without
an increase in the skills and knowledge of lawyers, their revitalization
during procedural hearings, one cannot expect a fair and effective
administration of justice». 4
Andrea Mogni, Research fellow of the European Institute for
Asian Studies, notes that Shavkat Mirziyoyev launched the process
of the Central Asian «Revival», which has a positive effect on society,
economy, culture, art, national and regional security and
international relations.
