<p>Xabier Armendaritz: /* External links */ updating the link</p> <hr /> <div>The '''Volga Tatars of Kazakhstan''' are a minority in [[Kazakhstan]], and make up 1.5% of the population. There are 249,000 [[Volga Tatars]] living in Kazakhstan accordingly to 1999 census (see [[Demographics of Kazakhstan]]).<br /> <br /> [[Volga Tatars]] have penetrated the area that is today Kazakhstan from the nineteenth century, entering the region as traders offering manufactured goods to nomadic Kazakhs. They were also [[Islam|Islamic]] missionaries, and Tatar settlers were the conduit of [[Islam]] into the region.<br /> <br /> Volga Tatars became well assimilated in Kazakhstani society. During the Soviet period many Tatars occupied positions in the medium-level administration and they comprised a significant part of the Kazakhstani intelligentsia.<br /> <br /> Now each Kazakhstan oblast has its own Tatar cultural centre, dedicated to preserve ethnic identity.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://minorityrights.org/minorities/tatars/ &quot;Kazakhstan - Tatars&quot;], ''MinorityRights.org''.<br /> <br /> {{Ethnic groups in Kazakhstan}}<br /> [[Category:Ethnic groups in Kazakhstan]]<br /> [[Category:Kazakhstani people of Tatar descent| ]]<br /> [[Category:Tatar people]]<br /> [[Category:Tatar topics]]<br /> <br /> {{ethno-stub}}<br /> {{KZ-stub}}</div>
