In case of such unanimous support of the people of Kazakhstan I promise to work as long as it is necessary if my health and strength allow me to do it. President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev said at the joint session of the Houses of the Parliament delivering his annual Address to the Nation, KAZINFORM reported.
N. Nazarbayev expressed gratitude to all those who initiated holding of the national referendum to extend the powers of the President to 2020. 'I am pleased with this initiative. The most important that I realize the will of the people of Kazakhstan - not to leave the post, and continue my work', the Head of State said.
The President also reminded that he rejected this initiative and set to participate in the elections of 2012. Though, the Parliament exercising its powers has adopted the Law on amendments to the Constitution.
'I have submitted the Law to the Constitutional Court. It will determine its constitutionality and validity. After that we will make the final decision', N. Nazarbayev added.
