當地時間8日淩晨,哈薩克斯坦總統托卡耶夫在社交媒體發文,再次強調絕不會與恐怖分子談判,暴徒必須被消滅。
The conflict in Kazakhstan keeps escalating. Many soldiers and policemen have joined forces with the protesters.
Meanwhile, the crowds in the streets are now arming themselves with rifles.

托卡耶夫還表示,襲擊阿拉木圖的暴徒和恐怖分子接受了良好的訓練,組織嚴謹,受特別中心的指揮。他們中的有些人講的不是哈薩克語。兩萬名左右的恐怖分子一共對阿拉木圖發起了至少六波進攻。
