Almaty, Kazakhstan -- Ambassadors for Peace gathered in the Kazakhstan Peace Embassy for a summary meeting to review events of 2011 on December 19, where they welcomed the Secretary General of UPF-Russia, Konstantin Krylov.
Among Ambassadors for Peace there were: Gabit Nuradilov, Representative of the Kazakhstan People's Assembly in the Southern national district; Professor Artur Igorevich Artemiev, UPF Global Peace Council member; Lamin D. Bangura, President of the African Union in Kazakhstan; Amantai Akhetov, head editor of the newspaper "Pravda Kazakhstan" and his wife; and many others. Olga Chuprakova, wife of UPF-Kazakhstan Secretary General Sergei Chuprakov, was emcee.
After a short introduction and a warm welcoming speech, Konstantin Krylov reported about the current UPF initiatives and projects in Commonwealth of Independent States. The philosophic presentation on "From dependence through independence towards interdependence" aroused the special interest of the Ambassadors for Peace.
In his presentation Mr. Krylov described a historical development of three philosophies, their impact upon human society and families, human interrelations and life, and national history in general.
It was doubtless very helpful for all Ambassadors for Peace to once again reflect on universal values and enjoy views of great philosophers, writers, poets, peacemakers, prominent religious and political figures, and outstanding leaders of all times and nations about good and evil, righteousness and egotism, etc.
Mr. Amantai Akhetov mentioned in his speech that Abai Kunanbaev (1845-1904), a famous writer, philosopher, composer, and public figure of Kazakhstan, also addressed the problem of social evil and ignorance, promoting idea of human love and goodness. Mr. Akhetov expressed his appreciation for the Russian UPF activity.
After the meeting, during the final coffee break, participants could freely communicate with each other in informal discussions of the most interesting issues. The atmosphere at the event was very warm and friendly.
A meeting with Mr. Eleussizov Mels took place on December 20. Twice a candidate for President of Kazakhstan, leader of the EcoUnion, branch "Tabigat" (platform of the Green Party in Kazakhstan), he is married and has four children. The meeting was held at Mr. Yeleussizov's workplace, in the premises of "Tabigat" EcoUnion. Mr. Yeleussizov initiated and carried out the largest ecological projects in Kazakhstan.
