Kazakhstan Name Change?
The president of Kazakhstan is considering changing the country's name by dropping the -stan. The new name would be Kazakh Eli or Kazakh Nation. The purpose of the name change would be to differentiate Kazakhstan from the other -stans. Kazkahstan is a former soviet republic that gained its independence in 1991. It lies south of Russia and east of Mongolia and China. It is (currently) the largest of the -stan nations.
