Yermukhamet Yertysbayev: I personally get bored without opposition press

Last week, a delegation of international human rights organization “Reporters without Borders” visited Kazakhstan. Journalists were concerned about the closure of a number of newspapers, television channel, and the increasing incidence of attacks on journalists in Kazakhstan.

I was fortunate to be present at the meeting between Johann Bihr, head of Eastern European and Central Asian division of the international organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Anna Suleliak, head of the human rights division at RSF with Yermukhamet Yertysbayev, advisor to the President of Kazakhstan, and record their sincere dialogue.
