This was stated by the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Aibek Smadiarov.
The director of TNT TV channel criticized the decision of the Kazakh authorities to rename railway stations in the Kazakh language, and then called Kazakh people mankurt.
“As the experience of the Baltics shows, this is a very dangerous trend. Here, too, everything started small and then turned into a real snowball: they closed Russian schools, removed Soviet monuments, banned the Russian language and, finally, kicked pensioners out into the cold,” Kandelaki wrote.
