It feels like a campaign ad--"I am Nursultan Nazarbayev and I approve this message"
Thanks for getting this up. We outside the US appreciate it
i wonder if you saw the other KZ commercial "discover Kazakhstan" which runs widely and extensively on EuroNews, BBC, CNN like 100 times a day and advertises www.kazakhstan-tourism.com - the site which NEVER exists... "ever wondered" how much taxes went to cover that?
It looks like an excerpt from the PR video produced by KazInvest a year or two ago. I have a copy. Some parts of it are definetely from there. The same voice too.
In the country full of amazing artists, directors, musicians, it is embarrassing that we have such lousy advertisement of our country. Ne lublu halavshikov!
Actually, I wonder if they subcontracted this to Turkmen TV for production. Gosh...this is very disappointing...maria
