The unexpected appearance of armed groups, of a leader sitting outside the country, the usual set of Western NGOs working over the years, demands a geopolitical distance from Russia, ”Armstrong told RIA Novosti.

He drew attention to the time of the protests that erupted before the Russian-American security consultations. “Is anyone trying to undermine the negotiations?” Armstrong asked. The United States has already announced that the events in Kazakhstan in no way affect the plan of future contacts, which will take place next week in Geneva, Brussels and Vienna.
