ALMATY: Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev urged the Central Asian nation on Wednesday to consolidate and avoid seeking culprits for economic hardship caused by the crash in oil prices.
“Our people, as always, need to unite and rebuff, by means of lawmaking if needed, any potential provocations at this hard time. And (also rebuff) those who try to politicise and seek culprits for the situation worsening,” Nazarbayev’s office quoted him as saying in a statement.
