Afghan War Park

Students of the Zhas Ulan State School for future officers prepared the Red Tulip patriotic event. The children made 924 paper tulips commemorating the number of Kazakhstani soldiers who died in the Soviet Afghan war. Zhas Ulan students lay the red paper flowers on the snow as a symbol of soldier bravery.

Silent drill teams from different Defense Forces fired three times to mark a minute of silence in the memory of the peacekeeping soldiers who died on the Afghan land. All the military units were part of the We Remember You, Soldier campaign.
