The head of our state noted that upbringing of the younger generation is important and relevant issue, and although "Kamolot" have implemented the goals and tasks outlined in its Program and Charter, the organization could not turn into a real mass youth movement. It was criticized that activities of the territorial structures of the Movement are limited to a narrow circle and are aimed primarily at youth, who are studying, and issues of working with unorganized youth remains out of sight. There is no practical influence of the Movement on such actual issues as ensuring of youth employment, raising their knowledge and expanding worldview, developing entrepreneurship, protecting against ideological threats.
