Kazakh President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev gave the order to open fire to kill without warning. He made such a statement during an emergency appeal on January 7.
"What nonsense, what kind of negotiations can there be with criminals and murderers. We had to deal with bandits and terrorists trained. Therefore, they must be destroyed, and this will be done in the near future," Tokayev said.
According to the head of the state, 20 thousand bandits attacked Alma-Ata only.
The President also emphasized that democracy is not an incitement; it is anarchy and non-observance of laws that violate people's rights.
Tokayev said that all the demands of the citizens of Kazakhstan, which were expressed in peaceful forms, were heard.
According to the president of Kazakhstan, the CSTO peacekeeping unit will be in the country for a short time. Tokayev thanked the heads of CSTO member states for their assistance.
According to the president, the state of emergency will be gradually lifted in those regions of Kazakhstan where the situation has improved. In addition, in a number of regions of the country, mobile communications will be turned on for a certain period of time.
