Parliamentary elections have been set for September 19 in Kazakhstan. The three parties signed a memorandum saying that they have the same approaches to some of the key problems of the country\'s development. The parties also agree that Kazakhstan must carry out political reform if it is to strengthen the powers of the parliament, to institute local elections and demonopolize the mass media market. Baimenov said that all other political forces are welcome to sign the memorandum. (Interfax-Kazakhstan)
