Assistant daughter of the former President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayeva explained her absence in public coronavirus. It is reported by Telegram Channel ORDA.
Zhanna Ermekova argues that Dariga Nazarbayev is at home in Alma-Ata. “The course of Kovid average,” she added.
Dariga Nazarbayev, who is a deputy, twice missed the meeting of the parliament. In the apparatus of the Legislative Assembly, they stated that she took sick leave.
Nazarbayev himself did not appear in public from December 28th. He did not make a single statement after the start of mass protests in Kazakhstan, which turned into riots. There was information that the ex-president, together with his family left Kazakhstan. His spokesman said that Nazarbayev is located in the capital of the country, Nur-Sultan, and keeps communications with the current head of State Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev.
Mass protests broke out in several regions of Kazakhstan in early January due to a sharp increase in gas engine fuel prices. Soon, socio-economic demands were replaced by political, including the care of Nazarbayev’s policies, and the rallies were disturbed. The main clashes with security forces were held in Alma-Ata.
Tokayev called protesters terrorists. At his request, Kazakhstan includes the peacekeeping forces of the Collective Security Treaty (CSTO).
