The State Duma considers the United States to be the culprit of the bloody events in Kazakhstan
Mass riots in Kazakhstan, which resulted in pogroms, storming of administrative buildings and street battles, were provoked by external intervention.
The head of the Russian State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Leonid Kalashnikov stated this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Kazakhstan has huge common borders with Russia and China, which the United States has declared as its enemies. Everything that happens there is important for Americans. It’s a bit difficult to raise 20 thousand people for some business communities. In this situation, it seems to me that this is external interference,” the politician said to Izvestia.
According to him, the republic is protecting the rest of Asia from various radical Islamist groups, “who have built their nests even in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.”
“If what was happening in Syria was dangerous for the national security of our country, then what about the fact that terrorists will appear nearby with an open border? We had to react to this,” Kalashnikov concluded.
