AKIPRESS.COM - Charge d'Affaires of Kazakhstan in Kyrgyzstan Rymtai Karibjanov was summoned to the Foreign Ministry of Kyrgyzstan in connection with the meeting of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev with the presidential candidate, Omurbek Babanov. 

The Kazakh side was handed a protest note, the Kyrgyz foreign ministry said in a statement.

According to the protest note, the Kyrgyz foreign ministry was confused by the meeting of Kazakh leader with one of the candidates for president and expression of support to that candidate.

"Despite the fact that the head of the fraternal Kazakhstan stated that he does not interfere with the domestic affairs of Kyrgyzstan, his remark apparently reflect the preference of the Kazakh side regarding the future president of the Kyrgyz Republic. In this regard, the Kyrgyz side considers the remarks as well as a wide coverage of the meeting in Kazakhstan an attempt to influence the choice of the people of Kyrgyzstan and interference in the domestic affairs of Kyrgyzstan," the statement of the foreign ministry reads.

The meeting took place on September 19.
