We understand that the events in #Kazakhstan are not the first attempt of outside interference. And the measures taken by the #CSTO have shown that we will not allow the situation to be rocked at home and will not allow the scenario of color revolutions to be realized - #Putin pic.twitter.com/NNTIsb5lFJ

"Groups of armed combatants who were waiting for their moment went into action. Their main objective appeared clearly (...) It was an attempted coup," Tokayév said during a videoconference with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and other heads of Allied state.
Tokayév indicated that the military mission led by Moscow in the country will end "soon" to help the Kazakh government to put a stop to the unrest that caused 164 deaths and around 2,000 wounded, according to the authorities.
