The month of March in Kazakhstan

With the arrival of March, spring comes in Kazakhstan, as in other parts of the world. Kazakhstan is a large country in area and therefore, if in the spring in the south of Kazakhstan it is already warm and the streams are flowing at full speed, then in the north there is snow. By the end of March, spring in most parts of Kazakhstan still takes precedence over winter, and then in many southern regions the steppe blooms with its unforgettable colors. Crimson poppies, low-growing irises with purple and yellow flowers, yellow and red tulips, various types of onions are mixed with white and purple anemones, numerous buttercups, and fragrant violets. Such beauty does not last long and by May the appearance of the steppe changes.2745308

 In March, Kazakhstan celebrates two public holidays: International Women's Day on March 8 and Nauryz on March 22. Nauryz Meiramy has its roots in ancient times. This is a spring holiday. With the arrival of the holiday, Kazakhs dress in their best clothes and visit each other, exchanging gifts. The celebration is accompanied by widespread fun, games, songs, and horse racing. On this holiday, the number seven is significant for Kazakhs. On this holiday, a Kazakh must visit seven houses and invite seven guests. “Koktem Tudi” (“Happy birth of spring”) - this is how Kazakhs congratulate each other on the Nauryz holiday.

It was in March 2013 that it became possible in Kazakhstan to obtain a military ID for one month of service. By government decree, 12 regions of the country opened paid courses for training the army reserve. Living conditions are close to those in the army; young men from 22 to 27 years old can serve in the courses. For one month of service, a military ID will be issued. Courses are paid.
