Governor honors West Kazakhstan's legendary Bekkaliev family legacy
Governor Nariman Turegaliyev recently visited the Bekkaliev family in West Kazakhstan to mark the Amal holiday. The household, led by 86-year-old Asiya Mukatova, has long been recognised for its contributions to the region and its strong family values.
The governor praised their dedication, calling them a cornerstone of the community and a source of regional pride.
Asiya Mukatova and her late husband, Kaiyrly Bekkaliev, married in 1959 and raised eight children together. Their family has since grown to include 15 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Mukatova, originally from Bokeyorda District, worked at a gas station until retiring, while Bekkaliev spent his career in agriculture as a tractor operator, brigade leader, and livestock farmer. His work earned him multiple awards for his contributions to the sector.
During the visit, Governor Turegaliyev highlighted the family's resilience and values, describing them as an example for others. Mukatova, now active in handicrafts, responded with gratitude on behalf of her family. She extended well-wishes for the nation's unity and prosperity. The couple's eight children have pursued careers in public service, medicine, education, agriculture, and private businesses. Their diverse paths reflect the family's long-standing commitment to hard work and community involvement.
The Bekkaliev family's story spans over six decades, rooted in agriculture, service, and close-knit bonds. Governor Turegaliyev's visit underscored their lasting impact on West Kazakhstan. Their children's varied professions continue the legacy of dedication that began with Kaiyrly and Asiya.
