US observer: Kazakhstan - key player in field of international security

"Yesterday we visited several polling stations and did not observe any violations. People make their choices freely. Representatives of various parties were at the stations," Director of the Political Department of the General Secretariat of the OIC Ali Abollhasani-Shahreza said.

"The organization at all polling stations was at a very high level. The election commission members complied with all rules," Aivars Endziņš, member of the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe said.

"At present Kazakhstan is a key player in the field of international security, especially, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Besides, Kazakhstan's role in ensuring international global food safety is also important, hence it is a large agricultural power. Hence we pay attention to the elections in your country," US observer, senior advisor of the International Tax and Investments Centre (IT IC) Douglas Alan Townsend emphasized.
