U.S. questions if it was a legitimate invitation for CSTO peacekeeping forces to be dispatched to Kazakhstan

AKIPRESS.COM - "We are closely monitoring reports that the Collective Security Treaty Organization have dispatched its collective peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan. We have questions about the nature of this request and whether it has — it was a legitimate invitation or not. We don’t know at this point," said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki at a press briefing. 

"The world will, of course, be watching for any violation of human rights and actions that may lay the predicate for the seizure of Kazakh institutions, and we call on the CSTO collective peacekeeping forces and law enforcement to uphold international human rights obligations in order to support a peaceful resolution. Of course, we will let the Kremlin speak to their own forces and the size of them and more specifics. But that’s we stand now," she said.
