Already the following day, parliament approved in two rounds of the proposal to rename the country's capital city Astana to Nursultan.

was arrested on Friday in Astana sixty people who were demonstrating peacefully against the decision. RIA Novosti reports that the police started arresting people after they allowed themselves to be interviewed by journalists. The protesters demanded democratic reforms and protested against the Astana renamed to Nursultan.

Also in Almaty, was arrested several persons who were protesting against the name change. According to the protesters, should citizens have a say on what the capital should be named. On nätsajten GoPetition has a petition been started against the renaming of the capital.
