“Many believed that the CSTO was a kind of virtual organization. It turned out that this is not the case. And it is already clear that the CSTO has played a colossal role in stabilizing the situation in Kazakhstan. ” – noted Nikonov in social networks.
He also noted the behavior of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev.
“I am amazed in a good way that, sensing the weakness of his positions, Tokayev did not act like Yanukovych, and not like Gorbachev. He decided to fight, and fight seriously, for his country and his power, which the people of Kazakhstan handed to him. This is, in general, the duty of the president of the country. I believe that he did absolutely the right thing by contacting the CSTO. And it is absolutely right that the CSTO member states made the decision to respond positively to his appeal, ”the deputy argues.
