Azerbaijan, Baku, June 1 / Trend S.Suleymanov /

A monument to founders of the Kazakh Khanate Janibek and Kerey will open in front of the First Kazakh Presidential Museum in Astana today. 

The opening ceremony will be held with participation of President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

The decision to establish the monument was made after a scandal erupted around the state Kazak Eli monument, which opened in Astana in October, 2009. Initially, plans included erecting a complex to Janibek and Kerey, but later the draft project was changed.
