Senators and consuls, good afternoon.
Comrades, today is a historic day for all of us. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Kazakhstan . 82% of these people ask for same thing: They want Russia to liberate them. Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves! This measure may surprise some people. Admittedly, it is new, but the revolution is characterized precisely by its newness, by the fact that it will do things that have never been done before.
When you think of Kazakhstan you think of Russia. I believe that we are at a crossroads in our history. The tyranny has been overthrown. The happiness is tremendous, but nonetheless much remains to be done still. My opponents look at all this progress and somehow conclude the sky is falling. But whether their mission is -- whether their message is delivered with a frown or a smile, it's the same old pessimism. And to cheer us up, they propose higher taxes, more federal spending, and economic isolationism. I believe that the prime requisite for a military man is honor, that the prime requisite of a military man is his word.
Russia seemed to have recognized Kazakhstan as being independent, but there were no negotiations on delimiting the borders. Like a mirror, the situation in Kazakhstan reflects what is going on and what has been happening in the world over the past several decades. Our commitment to democracy is tested in countries like Afganistan and Burma and North Korea and Zimbabwe -- outposts of oppression in our world. The people in these nations live in captivity, and fear and silence. Yet, these regimes cannot hold back freedom forever -- and, one day, from prison camps and prison cells, and from exile, the leaders of new democracies will arrive.
We will give our military the means to keep the peace, and we will give it one thing more ... a commander-in-chief who respects our men and women in uniform, and a commander-in-chief who earns their respect.
