US embassy cable - 05ALMATY2758

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 07/27/2015 
TAGS: PREL, KZ, POLITICAL 
SUBJECT: KAZAKHSTAN: DEMARCHE AGAINST G-4 RESOLUTION 
 
REF: A. ALMATY 2548 
 
     B. STATE 137602 
     C. STATE 126870 
 
Classified By: Ambassador John Ordway, reasons 1.4 (B) and (D). 
 
1. (C) As reported Ref A, Kazakhstani FM Tokayev told the 
Ambassador on July 8 that he had personally instructed 
Kazakhstan's ambassador to the UN to abstain on the G-4 
resolution.  Given that the GOK has already committed itself 
to abstaining, post sees no benefit in raising the issue 
again. 
 
2. (C) We have no reason to believe that the GOK's position 
has changed since July 8, particularly since FM Tokayev left 
on vacation the following day and has not yet returned. USUN 
may wish to confirm with the Kazakhstani mission that they 
intend to abstain.
