Adding to the stack of New Year’s interviews is that of President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev with Kazakhstanskaya Pravda as reproduced at the CIS website.
What an interesting man. 'Nauryz' - a spring equinox new year, is a much better notion than 31st December IMO. I think it was the Romans that began that particular alteration of the natural order.
Yes, I was very pleased to find this and provide it as it contains much info about a vital Central Asian nation too few know much about. The CIS news page where I found it will need to become a regular stop on my daily news rounds.

"..Tokayev recounts the attempted coup of 2001."
Typo there Karl.
Thank you!
