“종교는 전통과 함께 지켜야” – 국회의원 발언 요약

“Religion Should Be Practiced with Tradition” – Statement by Kazakh MP

 

2025년 4월 10일, 아스타나에서 열린 ‘참전용사 단체’ 제3차 총회에서 국회의원이자 단체 회장인 박틱호자 이즈무함베토프는 종교와 관련된 사회적 이슈에 대해 발언했다. 그는 3월 부라바이에서 열린 국가회의에서 카심-조마르트 토카예프 대통령이 종교 문제, 도덕성, 전통 가치 훼손에 대한 우려를 표한 사실을 언급하며, 국가적으로 극단적인 외래 종교 문화의 유입을 경계해야 한다고 강조했다.

 

    On April 10, 2025, during the 3rd Plenum of the Veterans’ Organization in Astana, MP Baktykozha Izmukhambetov addressed pressing religious and cultural issues. He referenced President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s concerns voiced at the National Congress in Burabay last March, warning against the erosion of traditional values and the influence of radical ideologies.

 

이즈무함베토프 의원은 일부 젊은 여성들이 검은 옷으로 얼굴을 가리거나 눈에 거슬리는 복장을 하는 등의 방식으로 종교를 표현하는 행태를 비판했다. 그는 종교는 외형이 아니라 전통과 내면의 믿음을 바탕으로 해야 하며, 무분별한 종교 왜곡을 피해야 한다고 주장했다.

 

    Izmukhambetov criticized certain young women for adopting clothing styles that are foreign to Kazakh culture, such as full black coverings or brightly mismatched veils. He stressed that true religiosity lies in the heart and should harmonize with national traditions, not rely on extreme external symbols.

 

또한 그는 정부기관과 시민사회 단체들이 이러한 종교적 혼란에 적극 대응해야 하며, 그렇지 않으면 사회적 불안정성으로 이어질 수 있다고 경고했다.

 

    He urged both governmental bodies and civil society to actively engage in addressing these issues, warning that failure to do so could lead to social instability.

 

이 발언은 카자흐스탄 내에서 종교의 자유와 민족 전통 사이의 균형에 대한 논쟁을 촉발시키고 있으며, 젊은 세대의 종교 표현 방식에 대한 우려와 더불어 공공기관의 역할이 재조명되고 있다.

 

    The speech has stirred debate in Kazakhstan over the balance between religious freedom and national identity, raising broader questions about how modern religious expression fits within traditional cultural frameworks.

“할랄은 샤리아의 요구” – 투르키스탄에서 이맘 대상 세미나 개최

 

 “Halal Is a Requirement of Sharia” – Seminar for Imams Held in Turkistan

 

2025년 4월, 카자흐스탄 투르키스탄 지역 무슬림 협의회는 도시 및 군 단위 주임 이맘들을 대상으로 “할랄 – 샤리아의 요구”라는 주제로 교육 세미나를 개최했다. 세미나는 에르잔 하즈 스마툴리 톨레포프 주 이맘이 진행했다.

 

    In April 2025, the Muslim Religious Administration of Turkistan Region organized an educational seminar titled “Halal – A Requirement of Sharia” for city and district chief imams. The seminar was led by Regional Chief Imam Erzhan Haji Smatuly Tolepov.

 

이 자리에서 그는 할랄 제품 생산 절차, 인증 시스템, 그리고 샤리아의 기준에 대해 상세히 강의했으며, 특히 ‘할랄 다무’ 인증 제도에 대해 설명했다. 이 인증은 카자흐스탄 무슬림청(KMDB) 설립 35주년을 맞아 각 지역 최소 5개 기관에 도입될 예정이다.

 

    The chief imam explained in detail the process of producing halal products, the certification system, and the requirements under Sharia. He also emphasized the “Halal Damu” certification, which is to be adopted by at least five institutions in each region as part of the 35th anniversary of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (SAMK).

 

이맘들은 세미나에서 활발히 질문하며 할랄 산업의 기준과 실제적 적용 방식에 대해 심도 깊은 정보를 나눴고, 세미나 말미에는 지역 수준에서 정기적인 홍보 활동을 수행하라는 지침이 내려졌다.

 

    The participating imams actively asked questions and received in-depth knowledge about halal production standards and applications. At the end of the seminar, the chief imam instructed the local religious leaders to conduct regular educational campaigns.

 

이 행사는 카자흐스탄에서 할랄 인증의 제도적 확산과 종교적 신뢰성 확보, 그리고 지역 사회 내 이슬람 율법의 실천 강화를 목표로 하고 있다.

 

    This event is part of broader efforts in Kazakhstan to expand institutional halal certification, reinforce religious trust, and strengthen Sharia-based practices within local communities.

    • Transport

    • Tourism

Significance (의의):

  • 기후 변화, 수력 프로젝트, 그리고 기타 환경 요인이 결합하여 내륙 호수인 카스피해의 생태계를 위협 중.

🇰🇿 Никаб под запретом: как страны Центральной Азии регулируют религиозную одежду

🇬🇧 Summary (English):

In recent months, countries in Central Asia — Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan — have strengthened measures regulating the wearing of face-covering clothing, particularly the niqab. According to authorities, these actions are aimed at ensuring public safety, maintaining the secular nature of the state, and preventing radicalization.

The niqab is a women’s head covering in Islamic tradition that covers the face completely or partially, leaving only the eyes visible.

Officials in these countries argue that the measures are necessary to ensure public safety and to maintain secularism, emphasizing that the restrictions are not aimed at religion but at clothing styles that hinder identity verification.

Key developments in each country:

  • Uzbekistan: In November 2023, a ban on wearing the paranja (full-face covering) in public places was introduced. Violators face fines ranging from $250 to $380.

  • Kyrgyzstan: In January 2025, President Sadyr Japarov signed a law banning the wearing of clothing that covers the face in public. Violators face a fine of 20,000 som (approximately $230). The law does not apply to hijabs that leave the face uncovered.

  • Tajikistan: Since June 2024, the Law on the Regulation of Traditions and Rituals includes a ban on clothing that does not align with national culture, including the niqab. Fines can reach 8,000 somoni (over $700) for individuals and up to 40,000 somoni for officials.

The article also touches on the ongoing discussions in Kazakhstan about possibly implementing a niqab ban, but no concrete legal initiatives have been made yet.

🇰🇿 요약 (한국어 번역):

최근 몇 달 간 중앙아시아 국가들인 우즈베키스탄, 키르기스스탄, 타지키스탄에서 얼굴을 가리는 의복, 특히 니캅에 대한 규제가 강화되었습니다. 정부는 이러한 조치가 공공 안전 보장, 국가의 세속성 유지, 극단주의 예방을 목표로 한다고 밝혔습니다.

니캅은 이슬람 전통에서 얼굴을 완전히 또는 부분적으로 가리는 여성의 머리 장식으로, 눈만 보이게 합니다.

각국의 정부는 이 조치가 종교에 대한 공격이 아니라, 개인 신원 확인을 방해하는 의복 스타일에 대한 제한이라고 주장합니다.

각국의 주요 변화:

  • 우즈베키스탄: 2023년 11월, 파란자(얼굴을 완전히 가리는 의복)에 대한 공공장소 착용 금지가 시행되었습니다. 위반자는 $250에서 $380까지 벌금을 부과받습니다.

  • 키르기스스탄: 2025년 1월, 사디르 자파로프 대통령은 얼굴을 가리는 의복의 공공장소 착용 금지 법안을 서명했습니다. 위반자는 20,000 솜(약 $230)의 벌금을 물게 됩니다. 법안은 얼굴을 열어 놓는 히잡에는 적용되지 않습니다.

  • 타지키스탄: 2024년 6월부터 시행된 전통 및 의례 규제법은 니캅을 포함하여 국가 문화에 맞지 않는 의복을 금지하고 있습니다. 위반자는 8,000 솜니(700달러 이상)의 벌금을 부과받을 수 있으며, 공무원은 최대 40,000 솜니까지 벌금을 물게 됩니다.

카자흐스탄에서도 니캅 착용 금지에 대한 논의가 있었으나, 현재 구체적인 법안은 제정되지 않았습니다.

📌 Significance :The regulation of religious clothing, particularly the niqab, is a global phenomenon. It is implemented based on national, secular, and cultural priorities to ensure security, not just a European practice.

🇰🇿 Стали ли казахстанцы меньше доверять тенге, ответил глава Нацбанка

🇬🇧 Summary (English):

The head of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, Timur Suleimenov, addressed whether Kazakhstanis have lost trust in the tenge amid instability in the currency market. Speaking at a briefing, he reassured the public that despite concerns in late 2024 about possible shifts from tenge to foreign currency deposits, statistics show that these fears were not realized.

Suleimenov pointed out that deposits in tenge remain stable, with a dollarization rate of 22.5%, close to historical minimums, indicating that people continue to trust the national currency. He emphasized that interest rates on tenge deposits are adequate, covering inflation and allowing people to save in real terms.

He also noted that de-dollarization reached a record level of 21.8% by the end of Q3 2024, and in Q1 2025, the dollarization rate increased slightly by 0.7%, primarily due to the rise in the dollar exchange rate, rather than a shift in deposit preferences.

While there was a significant increase in foreign currency deposits in March 2025, with a rise of almost 10% compared to October 2024, 99.6% of deposits belong to the mass segment, with an average deposit size of 204,000 tenge.

Additionally, several second-tier banks raised deposit interest rates for popular deposit types in March 2025.

🇰🇿 요약 (한국어 번역):

카자흐스탄 국립은행의 티무르 술레이메노프 은행장은 최근 텐게에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어졌는지에 대해 언급했습니다. 2024년 말, 텐게가 압박을 받을 때 일부 전문가들 및 시장에서는 외환 예금으로의 전환이 우려되었으나, 술레이메노프는 이러한 우려가 사실이 아니었다고 말했습니다.

술레이메노프는 텐게 예금이 여전히 안정적이며, 달러화 예금 비율이 22.5%로 역사적 최저치에 가깝다는 점을 강조했습니다. 또한, 텐게 예금의 금리가 적정 수준으로 인플레이션을 커버하며, 사람들은 실질적으로 자산을 저축하고 있다고 언급했습니다.

그는 데달러화 비율이 2024년 3분기 말 21.8%로 기록적인 수준에 도달했으며, 2025년 1분기에는 달러화 환율 상승에 따라 0.7% 증가했다고 밝혔습니다. 그러나 외환 예금이 증가한 이유는 달러화 환율 상승에 의한 평가액 변화지, 실제로 예금자들이 텐게 예금을 외환 예금으로 전환한 것은 아니라는 점을 강조했습니다.

또한 2025년 3월에는 카자흐스탄 내 5개 은행이 인기 있는 예금 상품에 대한 금리를 인상했다는 소식도 전해졌습니다.

📌 Significance (의의):This article shows that despite some initial fears, the Kazakhstani population continues to trust the national currency, the tenge, as evidenced by stable deposit trends and minimal shifts to foreign currency.
