The militants in Kazakhstan have obviously been trained in the camps of international terrorists abroad
Moscow. January 10th. INTERFAX - The threat to statehood that has arisen in Kazakhstan is not caused by spontaneous protests due to higher fuel prices, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"We understand that the threat to Kazakhstan's statehood is not caused by spontaneous protest actions over fuel prices, but by the fact that destructive internal external forces took advantage of the situation. Those people who spoke (about) the situation on the gas market is one people, and they have the same goals, and those who took up arms, attacked the state, are completely different people, and they have other goals," Putin said, speaking at a session of the CSTO Collective Security Council.
At the same time, he noted, "the elements of power and information support for protests inherent in Maidan technologies were actively used, well-organized and well-controlled militant groups were used," including "obviously trained in terrorist camps abroad."
