A spokesman for the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, said that the first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, did not consult with Russian President Vladimir Putin before his resignation.


“No, Nursultan Abishevich did not consult, and, of course, this was out of the question. But, of course, he considered it possible and necessary to inform the President of Russia about what had become, let's say, in the public domain, just a few hours after the conversation, ”said Peskov.

He noted that this is a tribute to the special allied and friendly relations of the two countries, as well as to the special personal relationship between Nazarbayev and Putin.

On March 21, Putin spoke by telephone with Nursultan Nazarbayev and the new president of Kazakhstan, Kasym-Zhomart Tokayev.

In the near future, Tokayev will visit Russia.
