FF, I am well aware that Kazachstan is not in the Middle-East, it was one of the first things I protested about in college Post-Sviet central asia looks fixed on the map but is ambiguous in practice. But we actually study both Middle-East and Central Asia then they pointed out nicely that when we look from socio-geopolitics, Kazachstan sometimes can be in both spheres. Actually many writers speak of 'Central Asia and Kazachstan', instead of putting it in one of the two

As for Almatay, the Slavic population, including russians, live in the northern oblast regions, were the capital was replaced, so that it would be closer to the centre of population and show unity of the country (since Kazachs form less than a majority of Kazachstan). Alma-ata got changed into Almaty, so that it matched the Kazakh-language rules.

I hope to have won back your love with this information that I studied for my exam on monday

Actually I have heard the national anthem of Kazachstan once In my class in Turkey there were many people from Kazachstan, and we all made presentations about their own country. To be honest they were rather naitonalistic and made the biggest presentation of all students They ended it with standing up alltogether and singng the national anthem
