Kazakh President Underlines Countries' N. Rights
"All the countries of the world are equally entitled to conduct research programs in nuclear energy fields but their moves should not trespass the framework of peaceful uses," Nazarbayev said, addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Eurasian Media Forum (EAMF). He further said that around 20 world countries are seeking to access nuclear weapons, and called for the establishment of nuclear free zones across the globe, including the Near East. "It is important that the nuclear armed states provide the countries of this region with security guarantees and that these countries are given some privileges to use nuclear energy (for peaceful purposes)," Nazarbayev added.
