    Kazakhstan says could quit EEU membership, should it threat its independence

    15:40 01.09.2014


    "Kazakhstan has a right to withdraw from the Eurasian Economic Union,"
    Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev told his country's Khabar
    television, according to remarks cited by Kazakhstan's Tengri News.
    "Kazakhstan will not be part of organizations that pose a threat to
    our independence."

    "Our independence is our dearest treasure, which our grandfathers
    fought for," Nazarbayev was quoted as saying. "First of all, we will
    never surrender it to someone, and secondly, we will do our best to
    protect it."

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Kazakhstan's history of
    independent statehood is scant and its people's desire for closer ties
    with Russia is profound.

    Kazakhs have taken to social networks to call for supporters to "send
    a history textbook to Putin" in response to the Russian leader's
    remarks last week that the Central Asian nation had never held any
    independence worth speaking of until very recently.

    Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev has "created a state on a
    territory that never had a state," Putin told a pro-Kremlin youth camp
    at Lake Seliger near Moscow. "Kazakhs never had any statehood, he has
    created it," he said, the Moscow Times reports.
