Former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev finally showed up, writing down an appeal to the people of the country. Thus, Elbasy denied the rumors about his death.
The January events shocked the whole of Kazakhstan. The purpose of these organized riots was to destroy the integrity of the country. These events once again show that independence must be protected. The tragedy that happened was a lesson for us. It is important to find out who organized all these pogroms and murders. The investigation will answer this question.
- the ex-president of Kazakhstan began his speech.
Nazarbayev expressed sincere condolences to the families of those killed during the unrest, and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
Elbasy also noted that all the rumors that a conflict is in full swing in the state elite are false.
In 2019, I transferred the powers of the President to Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, and since then I have been a pensioner. Currently, I am on a well-deserved rest in the capital of Kazakhstan, and have not traveled anywhere. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has full power, he is the chairman of the National Security Council, and soon he will be elected chairman of the Nur Otan party. Therefore, there is no conflict or confrontation in the country's elite, rumors on this topic are absolutely groundless
- said Nazarbayev.
