ArmInfo. Kazakhstan's incumbent leadership focuses on ensuring peace and security, equal coexistence of nations in the country, Armenian Ambassador to Kazakhstan from 2013 to 2018 Ara Sahakyan expressed such an opinion an interview with ArmInfo correspondent, referring to the incident in the city of Karaganda.
At the same time, he stated that the state system in Kazakhstan operates clearly. At the same time, the diplomat pointed out that in Kazakhstan is proud that in their country representatives of 132 nationalities live under the same roof. In this regard, Sahakyan recalled that an Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan operates in that country headed by the President of the country, the purpose of which is to provide centralized assistance to national cultural associations. "The incident in Karaganda has a purely domestic character, but some circles tried to present it in other light, which was quickly stopped," said the former Armenian ambassador to Kazakhstan.
At the same time, he did not agree that the Armenians in Kazakhstan enjoy some privileges. Sahakyan stressed that the Armenians in Kazakhstan get their bread by overwork. "Within 5 years of fulfilling the mission in Kazakhstan, I became convinced that Armenians are law-abiding citizens of this country and who are connected with their Homeland with their hearts and souls," Sahakyan said.
At the same time, the diplomat stated that after the incident in Karaganda, Azerbaijani bloggers became more active. "One of the worst evils of humanity is nationalism, which is not easy to overcome. Some layers of society have national vanity, a sense of exclusivity, which occasionally is demonstrated in the presence of fertile soil, "he said. At the same time, the diplomat expressed his conviction that the activities of the Armenian Foreign Ministry should not be judged solely by the statements made by the Armenian Embassy in Kazakhstan, and later by the Armenian Foreign Ministry and other structures. According to him, from the first minutes of the incident, tremendous work was carried out by the law enforcement agencies of Kazakhstan, key authorities, local elites, with Armenian key figures, and a summary of this activity was presented to the public several days later. "Such is the work of a diplomat, balanced, thoughtful, free from theatricality and the desire to make an impression," said Sahakyan, urging to draw conclusions on the results of activities.
To recall, on the night of January 1 in the restaurant "Ancient Rome" in the city of Karaganda there was a fight. As a result of the incident, a 23-year-old resident was killed, three more were injured. The deadly scuffle in Kazakhstan has become a fertile ground for inciting ethnic hatred and the spread of misinformation. According to the latest data, 8 people were detained.
