Today is the day of remembrance of the victims of December, the reporter of "Adyrna" reported.
December 17 is the day of remembrance of those who took part in the December incident in 1986. The Qur'an is recited in prayer to the souls of the youth who were killed in the bloody massacre known as "December 1986", which clearly defined the civil and political position of the Kazakh people.
On December 17, at 8 o'clock in the morning, about 300 people gathered in the city's then LI Brezhnev Square (ed., now Republic Square) with slogans demanding political independence. That evening, the number of strikers reached 20 thousands.
