Kazakhstan, Astana, Jan.28 / corr Trend K. Konirova /
The U.S. is ready to support Kazakhstan in democratizing its political system, U.S. Ambassador to Kazakhstan Richard Hoagland said at a news conference in Astana on Jan.28.
"The U.S. is ready to provide further support to Kazakhstan to democratize its political system. We are currently discussing changes to three laws - on the media, elections and political parties," he said.
Hoagland said the amendments and supplements to the laws that were submitted to Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev by parliament fall short of the "ideal OSCE standards."
Only several countries meet these standards, he said.
