If We Do Not Close the Topic of Ukraine, Problems with Armenia Will Arise: Russian State Duma Deputy Speaker

There are many issues at stake, and everyone is waiting to see how the situation in Ukraine will end. It is being closely watched. If we do not close the topic of Ukraine, then we will have problems not only with Kazakhstan but also with Armenia and other surrounding countries.

This statement was made by Pyotr Tolstoy, Deputy Speaker of the Russian State Duma, during a broadcast on the radio station Kommersant FM.

The Deputy Speaker of the State Duma added, “Look at what is happening today in Kazakhstan regarding the restoration of a certain statehood, what kind of national mythos is flourishing there about independence and the transition to the Latin alphabet; very interesting things are happening there.”
