Senators supported changes in legislation that the Security Council and the ANC should be headed by the head of state in his position – Parliamentarian Lyazzat Suleimen informed.
Earlier, local media reported that senators would retain Nursultan Nazarbayev’s right to speak before both houses of parliament.
