“Russia will evaluate the Minister of Information and Social Development of Kazakhstan, Askar Umarov, according to his statements in his new post, and not according to his previous awkward words. Moscow is ready to work with all members of the new cabinet of the fraternal state,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Due to appointment of Umarov, a number of Russian politicians had made harsh statements about him, accusing him of Russophobia, while the minister denied the charges, emphasizing that "in all previous positions he tried to conduct fruitful work with Russian and other partners" .
