Kazakh President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev ordered the security forces to open fire on terrorists without warning.
“I gave the order to law enforcement agencies and the army to open fire to kill without warning. Calls are being made abroad to hold negotiations for a peaceful solution of the problem. What nonsense! What kind of negotiations can there be with criminals, with murderers? ”
Tokayev criticized the special services, which “slept through”, according to him, the preparation of terrorist attacks and the organization of the sleeping cells of the militants.
“In Almaty alone, 20 thousand bandits attacked. Their actions showed the presence of a clear plan of attacks on military, administrative and social facilities in almost all areas, well-coordinated coordination of actions, high combat readiness and bestial cruelty. In addition to the militants, there were specialists trained in ideological sabotage, skillfully using disinformation, fakes, and capable of manipulating people’s moods, ”he added.
Earlier, the media reported that a “critical red” level of terrorist threat was introduced on the territory of Kazakhstan.
Protests in Kazakhstan began after the New Year over the rise in the price of liquefied gas. The government resigned, while the CSTO Collective Security Council decided to send a collective peacekeeping force to Kazakhstan at the request of the president of the republic. The CSTO peacekeepers in Kazakhstan will be led by the Commander of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov. The Kazakh authorities stated that the CSTO peacekeepers do not participate in military operations, their task is to cover and protect state facilities.
