The new Minister of Information and Social Development of Kazakhstan, Askar Umarov, said that he has great respect for Russia, speaks Russian and is connected with Russian culture. In an interview with Sputnik Kazakhstan, he commented on his statements, which the head of Rossotrudnichestvo, Yevgeny Primakov, called Russophobic, saying that “this virtual garbage has long since decayed.”
Umarov, in particular, called the Russians an “imposed diaspora” and wrote that “when everyone gets drunk on vodka and celebrates an incomprehensible day of victory, you will remember with a prayer our unfortunate grandfathers who did not return from someone else’s war. Whom did they win, what did they win?
According to the minister, the accusations and conclusions based on “emotional and incorrect skirmishes in social networks more than a decade ago” are understandable, but exhausted.
“This virtual garbage has long decayed,” he added.
Umarov stressed that he has great respect for Russia, as well as “traditions, history, literature, common historical centuries-old ties between our peoples.”
Recall that the views and statements of the new Minister of Information about the Russians and the Great Patriotic War were criticized by the head of Rossotrudnichestvo Evgeny Primakov, as well as the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin.
