In 2005 in the village Kokpekty of the East Kazakhstan region the mosque was opened. The mosque was opened 14 years ago by Tana-myrza. The mosque in the village was built by Tana-myrza’s efforts 140 years ago. Since that time mosques have never been built. The house of worship existed till today, settled down in the building of the former district committee of the party. Construction of the new building of the mosque began in May, 2004. It was built by the masters from Uzbekistan. Each brick was molded manually. The Uzbek builders used the material brought from Samarkand. Now in the district there is the real mosque for carrying out all ceremonial actions.
