"Mr President, I agree with most colleagues who said that what happened in Zhanaozen, and the subsequent actions of the government, are truly alarming. We expect the authorities to conclude the ongoing investigation in an accurate and transparent manner. Transparency means including independent experts as well.
The democratisation of Kazakhstan is certainly a slow process. This is only the beginning for Kazakhstan, on the way to further democratisation and approximation with European values and standards, and equally in the field of human rights and the development of democratic standards. The country needs to invest considerable efforts and political will in this direction.
I hope that Kazakhstan will justify the expectations of its European partners, will heed the criticisms levelled today, and will try to take the necessary action. It has recently been invited to join the Venice Commission and is about to receive the status of ‘Partner for Democracy’ in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. The citizens of Kazakhstan deserve better human rights standards, the rule of law and a democratic future – in other words, a much better future."@en1
