The United States has questions about the involvement of the CSTO forces by Kazakhstan to liquidate the riots. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
According to the head of the State Department, Washington is very concerned about the events in Kazakhstan. The American administration warned the Kazakh authorities about the need for a proportional response to the actions of the protesters, without violating their rights.
Blinken also stressed that the United States highly values relations with Kazakhstan and opposes any violence in this country. At the same time, he commented on the introduction of the collective forces of the CSTO into the republic. According to Blinken, Kazakhstan has enough strength and means to independently resolve the situation, without outside help.
At the same time, Blinken noted that “when Russians are in your house, it can be difficult to force them to leave.” The unrest in Kazakhstan, according to the US Secretary of State, is caused by economic reasons.
