President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave an interview to the Kazakh state TV channel Khabar 24 about riots in early January covers years covering many large cities of the countries and about the situation in the republic at the present time. Two cases are noteworthy. First, the interview was explained and detailed. And the second – the President of Kazakhstan spoke in Russian. Tokayev’s spokeswoman explained that this was done to increase the coverage of the exhibition. It is not without interest that the President of Kazakhstan intends to visit Vladimir Putin in Moscow in mid-February, which he also said in an interview.
Here is what Tokaev said
WHY THE MILITANTS CAPTURED ALMA-ATA AIRPORT
“You were probably under surveillance during the siege of the airport in Almaty. They flew in under the guise of guest workers.
We remind you that earlier a version was put forward that the capture of the airport by militants was carried out in order to prevent the Russian BTA from landing with spiritual moods. But as a result, the planes landed on a military airfield 40 kilometers from the capital of Kazakhstan. If we accept Tokaev’s version, then the militants should have had the most severe coordination, because after the capture of the airport, the attendants were evacuated, and not a single one described was accepted at the airport after that. That is, the militants were supposed to seize the airport at the moment when (according to Tokaev – ed.) they had already landed, but had not yet passed through inspection and detection.
Riots in the cities of Kazakhstan were organized by trained people.

WHAT INTERESTED THE MILITANTS
“These people, of course, were not interested in material values.
There is no doubt that those who ran industrial enterprises and controlled the administration of the police and the prosecutor’s office were not really interested in televisions, washing machines, and even jewelry. Marauders, rough shops and salons, were stopped. They had not only the opportunity to take everything that is bad (or even good) lies, but also knowledge is marketed.
It is noteworthy that, according to Tokayev, the organizers of the unrest met in Alma-Ata in five-star hotels.
– An interesting fact: one of the groups lived in a five-star hotel, and occupied the command headquarters on the floor of the first hotel “Kazakhstan”. Uncover facts that were hard to imagine.

ABOUT PEACEKEEPERS AND THE USE OF FORCE
“The involvement of the CSTO peacekeeping contingent was carried out in accordance with the contractual documents of this organization.”
“The CSTO peacekeeping contingent in Kazakhstan did not collect a single shot”
“Now it has become apparent that the bandits, who are significant participants in the hostilities, are under threat. The pain that is usually returned by the wounded has not been found.
“It was a planned action, stages of all stages of the trial, waiting with worldwide protests, they really are, and the acceptance of murders and looting – it was a holistic operation, conceived by professionals and carried out in imitation”
– There was confusion, I should be frankly happy. People – I mean the organs of hearing – are afraid to take responsibility. Complete lack of initiative. I told them: “Listen, if Marshal Rokossovsky or Marshal Zhukov asked permission from Stalin for one day or another, everyone would die? That is, it was a real war, it was necessary to take responsibility.
These events actually took place, that due to the indecision of civil servants, the security organs and other organs of the gastrointestinal tract were received. And we can really talk about a meeting, for example, in the Alma-Ata Republic of the Elder Zhuz.
Spiritual forces have been introduced in Kazakhstan.

ON THE SITUATION IN GOVERNING THE COUNTRY
“You know, like in an old joke, or maybe it was true. Beria came to Stalin and said:“ Something must be done with the heavy ones! To which Stalin said: “But I don’t have writers.”
I do not know how long I will stay in Kazakhstan, but I absolutely know that, in accordance with the constitution, no more than two terms. That is, there will be no alteration of course, let alone the constitution.
No, naturally, there was no bargaining with Nazarbayev, there were no talks about personal privileges with him either. The only thing was the talk about the urgent need to resolve the issue of the status of the chairman of the Security Council. And when the situation escalated, I will not hide it, I raised the question: that I am now addressing the nation and must declare that from now on I am the chairman of the Security Council. This issue was resolved literally on the go”
Decisiveness helped Tokayev to hold on to power, but now the hardest part begins. The administrative apparatus must be rearranged, personnel must be changed, and the “bench” is empty and “the chain mail is short.” Of course, there are cadres who were brought up in Soros structures and study in Western universities, but Tokayev cannot but understand that their appointment to more or less responsible positions is the way to the loss of real sovereignty by Kazakhstan.
ABOUT “DEBT” TO PUTIN AND THE NAME OF ALMA-ATA
I responsibly say that there were no conversations with Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and there were a number of them, they were lengthy, naturally, there were no preliminary ones regarding the fact that we would pay off. After all, Russia for Kazakhstan is a union state.”
“Almaty is more suitable for Kazakh-speakers. As for Russian-speakers, “Alma-Ata” pronounces more conveniently. Warm regards to the most important city”
This is perhaps the shortest, but at the same time the most optimistic part of the conversation. They themselves understand why
