Press statement on the developments in the Republic of Kazakhstan

We are closely following the developments in the neighbourly fraternal country.

We call for peaceful solutions to all issues within the constitutional and legal framework and through a dialogue, not through street riots and violations of law. This is exactly what the efforts by President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev are aimed at: stabilising the situation and prompt settlement of the pressing problems, including those mentioned in the protesters' legitimate demands.

We expect a prompt normalisation of the situation in the country, with which Russia has relations of strategic partnership and alliance, as well as brotherly and friendly contacts.

We are keeping in contact with Russian foreign missions in Kazakhstan. The situation around our diplomatic and consular offices remains peaceful. According to the information currently available, no Russian citizens have been injured in the protests in the Republic of Kazakhstan.

We continue to closely monitor developments.
