One of the distinguished state and public figures of the country, a prominent representative of a new formation of young policy-makers and a remarkable person has passed away.

Head of State Nursultan Nazarbayev in his telegram expressed appreciation to the ex-Head of Kazatomprom in servicing his country.  «Nurlan Kapparov during the very first years of our country’s Independence stood out among the young generation by becoming a well-known entrepreneur. In different years he worked as CEO of “National oil and gas company “Kazakhoil” CJSC, Minister of environment and water resources, CEO of “NAC “Kazatomprom” JSC, as well as held other responsible positions, pursuing his responsibilities with dignity», is stated in the telegram. – «Nurlan Kapparov was a talented leader who always applied his extensive knowledge and expertise for the development and prosperity of our country.

Commemoration with participation of cabinet and parliament members of Kazakhstan, akims of oblasts, businessmen and public members of Kazakhstan took place in the Academy of Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  Nurlan Kapparov was buried in Kensai cemetery.

The first deputy prime-minister of Kazakhstan Bakytzhan Sagintayev in his speech expressed condolences on behalf of prime-minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Karim Massimov, Cabinet members and on his own behalf: «It is hard for me not only to talk, but to stand here.

Nursultan Nazarbayev said that he was the promising specialist».

- I would like to ask forgiveness from Nurlan for my little inconsiderate act (...). Though Nurlan resigned from his post of the minister of environment and became head of Kazatomprom, he continued to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Expo-2017. And he was preparing for an appointment with the Head of State, he was responsible for content of the national pavilion and we viewed a video at prime-minister’s office. After the presentation I said that I have a notice. While he recasted the video, he lost 10 days. Now I feel sorry for this. He would have managed to bring this idea and this video to President, and, may be, his project would be approved finally. We would have known it exactly that it was made by our brother Nurlan Kapparov. And today I give a promise to do everything possible to bring this video to the Head of State, because Nurlan put his soul and heart to this project, - noted Bakytzhan Sagintayev.

Minister of energy of Kazakhstan Vladimir Shkolnik: «Today we bid farewell to bright and pure person. He is very creative person who was able to love, keep company, was a true friend … I am sure that everyone who knows him understands it very well. I promise to apply our best efforts to follow Nurlan’s matter through».
