Baibazarov commented on proposal to ban alcohol in Turkestan: There is no question of a total ban

Astana. December 29. KazTAG – There is no question of a total ban on alcohol in Turkestan, perhaps there will be restrictions in places that are most visited by religious tourists, said Nurlan Baibazarov , Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy.
“I believe that any restrictions should be approached in a balanced manner. It is clear that there is an area where holy places, a mausoleum, and so on are located. The city is large, so I think there is no question of a total ban on everything. Perhaps there will be places that are most visited by religious tourists. I think that here bans will be appropriate precisely in those places where the most visited, revered places are located. But there are other places in the city. It is clear that there are people's preferences, if foreign tourists come, they should also have the opportunity to relax as they want," Baibazarov said at a briefing in the Majilis.
The minister noted that they plan to develop not only religious tourism in Turkestan.
