According to Executive Director of the Islamic Culture and Education Support Fund, the problem of personnel is taken very seriously at the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Kazakhstan. Their education takes money and requires the government’s support, Balgabek Myrzayev said. Deficiency of educated religious staff is not the last link in the chain of events involving representatives of radical Islamic trends that has taken place in Kazakhstan. “We will continue countering such trends and I hope that justice will prevail. The most important is that there is peace and accord in Kazakhstan,” Myrzayev said.

But we have our own national traditions in Kazakhstan and they do not contradict with Islam,” he said.
