On Thursday and Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin held telephone conversations about events in Kazakhstan with the presidents of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon, as well as with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan.
As the press secretary of Putin Dmitry Peskov told reporters, we are talking about negotiations with the leaders of the CSTO member states, Interfax reports.
In particular, the Russian leader spoke with Tokayev several times. According to Peskov, during the conversations, they discussed “joint actions within the CSTO mandate to combat international terrorism and to ensure order, as well as the safety of citizens of Kazakhstan.” In his address to the people, Tokayev noted Putin’s “efficiency and comradely warmth”.
In addition, Peskov said that the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, constantly reports to Putin on the progress of the transfer of military personnel to Kazakhstan and the fulfillment of the assigned tasks.
Let us remind you that protests in Kazakhstan began after the New Year due to the rise in prices for 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.
Law enforcement officials of Kazakhstan have detained 3,811 people in connection with the riots, the Kazakh Tengrinews agency reported on the Telegram channel data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the ministry, 26 participants in the riots were eliminated, another 26 people were injured.
