Kazakhstan responded to the Russian deputy's statement that "Olma Ota is the land of Russia".


The Kazakh side responded to the vice-speaker of the Russian State Duma, Pyotr Tolstoy, calling the city of Almaty "the land of Russia". "We do not want Kazakhstan-Russia friendship to be derailed by such irresponsible statements," said deputy Abenov.

Parliament deputy Murat Abenov said that the words of the vice-speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation "in no case can be considered compatible with good neighborly and alliance relations between the two countries."

"Undoubtedly, both Russia and Kazakhstan are independent and democratic countries, where everyone has the right to express his opinion. This is often used by various provocateurs. After all, you can't track everyone, Tengrinews quotes Abenov as saying.

"If such hasty statements are made not only by the deputy, but also by the vice-speaker of the State Duma, Mr. Tolstoy, I consider it completely inappropriate," Abenov added.

Murat Abenov called on his Russian colleagues to be careful about the friendship between the two neighboring countries, calling such statements "irresponsible".

"I would like to call on my Russian colleagues, representing the multi-ethnic people of Russia, to care about the friendship and cooperation between the two neighboring countries. We do not want Kazakhstan-Russia friendship to be derailed by such irresponsible statements," said Abenov.

Earlier, the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Pyotr Tolstoy called the city of Almaty "our city" in an interview with the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" newspaper and called on Kazakhs to "not forget" that the city was called by this name during the Russian Empire.

"Look at what is happening in Kazakhstan today in terms of the reconstruction of a certain Kazakh state. I defy them to forget that Almaty is the city of Verni. "Our Russian Cossack fortress," said Tolstoy.
