NUR-SULTAN. KAZINFORM – Kazakhstan’s Minister of Defense-Lieutenant General Nurlan Yermekbayev has been in self-isolation since June 11. He is set to attend the celebrations dated to the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War to take place in Moscow, Kazinform reports referring to the press service of the Defense Ministry of Kazakhstan.
Yermekbayev had to self-isolate after receiving an invitation from his Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu. Such a measure is in line with recommendations by doctors when leaving for a foreign country, as well as complying with the sanitary and epidemiological situation.
