Kazakhstan’s decision on the withdrawal of the Collective Security Treaty Organization’s (CSTO) peacekeeping contingent is the country’s prerogative and Russia has no right to interfere, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday, TASS reports.
"It is solely the prerogative of the country that submitted that request with the CSTO. It’s based on their analysis and we have no right to interfere," he pointed out.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said earlier on Tuesday that the pullout of the CSTO’s peacekeeping forces from the country would begin in two days and would take no longer than 10 days.
