«In connection with the stabilization of the situation, I made a decision to restore the Internet access in certain regions of the country at certain time intervals,» the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said in his address to the people.
He is confident that this decision will have a positive impact on the country’s life.
«But I warn you that free access to the Internet does not mean free placement of fabrications, slander, insults, incitement calls. If such materials appear, we will take measures to identify and punish their authors,» he said.
