Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev said he is confident that the country\'s existing legislation allows for honest and transparent elections. \"If its provisions are adhered to in a strict manner, existing legislation allows us to hold any elections in compliance with international electoral standards in the republic today,\" Nazarbayev said at the opening of the sixth parliamentary session in Astana on Wednesday. \"While introducing amendments to the constitutional law on elections in the republic of Kazakhstan, the government and parliament managed to avoid any extremities that could add unwanted tensions to the electoral process,\" the president said. He expressed confidence that legislation \"ensures all the necessary prerequisites for the elections to take place in a purely democratic, honest and transparent manner. We have all the capabilities for it, and we have to make this idea a reality.\" (Interfax-Kazakhstan)
