- "Nur-Sultan /ˌnʊərsʊlˈtɑːn/ (Kazakh pronunciation: [nʊɾ sʊltɑn], Cyrillic: Нұр-Сұлтан; see also other names), is the capital city of Kazakhstan. Known between 1998 and 2019 as Astana[a] (Kazakh pronunciation: [ɑstɑnɑ], Cyrillic: Астана) and before that Akmola, it was renamed Nur-Sultan in March 2019, in honour of the departing Kazakh president, Nursultan Nazarbayev. The city lies on the banks of the Ishim River in the north-central part of Kazakhstan, within the Akmola Region, though administered as a city with special status separately from the rest of the region. A 2020 official estimate reported a population of 1,136,008 within the city limits, making it the second-largest city in the country, after Almaty, the previous capital, between 1991 and 1997." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2021)
