Kazakh leader rules out fallout from withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan
Withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan in 2014 will not lead to catastrophic consequences for Central Asia, Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev says.
"Our region Central Asia, as the world in general, enters a period of changes, and the problems of regional security in the global dimension are very crucial. I would like to say that I do not accept the catastrophic theories that we hear from different sides, I do not believe that the timer of countdown is set approaching the hour X when withdrawal of coalition forces from Afghanistan will begin in 2014," Nazarbayev said at the opening of the XI Eurasian Media Forum in Astana on Thursday.
