“According to preliminary data, there are now about 45 invaders at the airport. When they entered, our staff left the airport. At the time of the seizure, there were no passengers in the terminal. We quickly evacuated passengers in advance. They took them out through gate 11. Just at that moment the plane arrived. The military left the airport, but we do not know when they left. They are not there now. Airport employees evacuated passengers on their own, ”the airport’s press service said.
Earlier, eyewitnesses reported about what was happening at the airport.
The riots in Kazakhstan began on January 2 after it became known about a two-fold increase in the price of liquefied gas, which is used in the country as the main fuel. The authorities decided to cut prices, but this did not stop the protesters. Also, the president dismissed the government, but this did not reduce the intensity of the protesters.
