Abstract
The study examines the problems of the Kurds of Kazakhstan and their political and legal activity, which have not yet been studied in socio-political science. In contrast to the previously conducted studies of various profiles, the presented study deals in more detail with political issues: the deportation of Kurds from Transcaucasia to Kazakhstan; the revival and development of the Kurds of Kazakhstan; the political and legal activity of the Kurds in Kazakhstan. The study notes that Kurds in Kazakhstan feel like equals among others and develop their material and spiritual culture and their native language. Therewith, in Kazakhstan, the Kurdish population has reached a new level of politicisation and development of ethnic identity, which is expressed in its more active participation in the socio-political life of the country, in the creation of public organisations, in the expansion of work to preserve the identity of its people and its political and legal activity. The political and legal activity of Kurds of Kazakhstan is the degree of practical participation of Kazakh Kurds in politics, legal policy, and the totality of individual actions and interactions of Kurdish individuals aimed at achieving any political or legal purpose.
