The Government has
been instructed to set up
a commission to be headed by the Transport Minister. A thorough
investigation will be conducted to determine the cause
of the plane crash and every effort made to provide support
to the families of the victims.
Tomorrow will be
a national day of mourning.
President
of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev: I have already
expressed my condolences on behalf of the Kazakh people
and from me personally over this tragedy that took lives of young
people. The causes have yet to be determined. This is terrible,
of course.
I would like
to once again – I have already told Mr Putin – extend
my condolences to the families and friends
of the plane crash victims on behalf of Kazakhstan
and from me personally. I think the commission will investigate
this and the result will be known. But these lives are lost forever.
We stand in this
together with Russia and the Russian people. We are saying
to everyone – Russia’s leaders and the families
and friends of the victims – we stand together with you
in this moment of tragedy.
We arrived to hold
a Eurasian Economic Union meeting tomorrow, and now this tragedy has
happened.
