Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia wished Kazakhstan not to know any religious and ethnic conflicts.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "The Orthodox Church in Kazakhstan lives side by side and interacts with a large Islamic community. And the wise policy of the state led by the president is aimed at making Kazakhstan's two traditional religions, whose history dates back into the distant past, work together for the benefit of people," the patriarch said after a prayer service at the Assumption Cathedral in Astana.

These good fraternal relations should never be discontinued, "so that no mean people or forces could provoke inter-ethnic and inter-religious conflicts because people can only build and improve their lives when they work in solidarity," the Russian Patriarch said.
