Kazakhstan

My country that I'm reporting on is the country of Kazakhstan. It's a country in western Asia which shares it's borders with Russia at the north, Mongolia at the east, China at the south-east, with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan at the south. The main language spoken is Russian, while 64.4 percent of the population speak Kazakh. Even though Russian is their main language, Muslim is their main religon, with some others practicing the Russian Orthodox. It is a medium size country, with population being around fifteen and a half million. The area of the country is 2,724,900 square kilometers.
In recent news, Kazakhstan has tightened their security in airports ever since the terrorist attack in Moscow, Russia. This involves more CCTV cameras, more measures for searching through bags, and tightening control of arrival areas. After the suicidal bombing, which killed 35, and injured over 150, many other countries are beefing up security measures in their airports.
