A series of lectures on the basic principles of Eurasian integration for students and academic staff members of S. Toraighyrov PSU is held at S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University from May 30 till June 6, 2014.

It should be noted that the idea of establishing a new integration project in Eurasia was originally proposed by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev in March 1994.

Integration into the Eurasian Economic Union means not only interaction, mutual adaptation, cooperation, integration of national economies, internationalization of economic life, but also restoration of the former unity, new integrity. It requires new unifying ideas.

The Dean of the Faculty of Finance and Economics, Candidate of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor Takhir Ernazarov noted in his lecture on May 30, 2014, that participation of Kazakhstan in this integration project will increase the size of the consumer market for our manufacturers from 17 million people in our country to over 180 million people in the entire Union. 'Improved integration with Russia and Belarus will allow Kazakhstan to diversify its economy and thereby solve the problem of dependence on raw materials,' said Takhir Ernazarov.

Head of the Department of Sociology and Political Science, Candidate of Political Sciences, Associate Professor Ildar Kaliyev emphasized in his lecture that Eurasian Economic Union as a long-term strategic platform should become the most modern form of economic integration of the three countries that already have a common customs territory and whose total GDP amounts to 85% of GDP of the CIS countries.
