How the Kazakh officials made “Reporters without Borders” laugh
The proverb “The more time, the more work” does not suite well for some officials at the most important and responsible government institution – Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It seems that they are guided by a different principle: when you work less, work also becomes lesser.
It was proved after representatives of the international organization “Reporters without Borders”, concerned about the situation with freedom of speech in Kazakhstan and given permission to visit the country, sent a written request to Kazakhstan asking to meet with authorities and representatives of the government. The letter was sent from Paris via internet to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
