On March 14, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev took to his Twitter account to congratulate citizens on the occasion of the Amal holiday, also known as the Day of Greeting or

‘Korisu’ in Kazakh. The holiday is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the call for unity and harmony among the people.

In his tweet, President Tokayev stated that the holiday has been celebrated since ancient times, and is a vivid embodiment of the traditional generosity of the Kazakh people. He wished everyone a prosperous new year and urged citizens to continue to uphold the values of unity and harmony that the holiday represents.

On the Day of Greeting, people in Kazakhstan visit each other, exchange good wishes, and express honor and respect for older people. The holiday is a celebration of fraternity, modesty, and compassion, and is widely celebrated throughout the country.

Although the Day of Equinox falls on March 22, people in western regions of Kazakhstan celebrate the Amal holiday on March 14. During the celebrations, people wear national clothes and gather together outdoors to mark the arrival of spring and the new year.

Overall, the Amal holiday is a significant cultural event in Kazakhstan that promotes unity and harmony among the people. As President Tokayev’s tweet highlights, it is a celebration of traditional values and generosity that has been passed down through generations since ancient times.
