Kazakh president claims constitutional order ‘mainly restored’

State forces continuing “anti-terror” operations & authorities again “in control” of situation, Tokayev insists

Kazakhstan’s security forces have been able to restore law and order in most parts of the country following days of unprecedented violent unrest, its president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev claimed on Friday morning.

“Constitutional order has been mainly restored in all regions of the country. Local authorities are in control of the situation,” Tokayev said, adding that an anti-terrorist operation has been launched and law enforcement agencies are “working hard.”

The president also authorized the use of lethal force. He also said that thousands of “bandits” had attacked Kazakhstan’s largest city of Almaty and vowed to deal with them. “Terrorists are still using weapons and are damaging people’s property,” he said, adding that the anti-terrorist actions would continue.

At least 26 “armed criminals” were killed and 18 injured, the interior ministry said in a statement. Local media also reported thousands of arrests, citing official sources.

Tokayev also thanked Russia’s President Vladimir Putin for aiding Kazakhstan and sending a peacekeeping force. On Friday, Russia’s Ministry of Defense spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) peacekeepers had the area around Almaty airport under control. Nine aircraft with airborne troops and equipment onboard have already landed there, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The airport had been previously seized and ransacked by rioters.
