CSTO Secretary General Zas: organized groups operated in Kazakhstan during the riots

He said this in an interview with Belarus 1.

“There was noted the action of groups not only of such a criminal nature: bandits, marauders, but also organized armed groups that were already pursuing other goals, one might say, terrorist goals,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Zas also noted that there are foreigners among the detainees, but it is impossible to say that “they prevail”.

Also, the CSTO Secretary General said that in Kazakhstan "a turning point has already occurred, and we can say that the country is returning to normal life."
