Astana. June 9. Interfax-Kazakhstan - NATO Parliamentary Assembly made a report on the situation in Kazakhstan, in which the republic was subject to harsh criticism, Kazakhstan parliament's Majilis (lower chamber) Deputy Tokhtarkhan Nurakhmetov said.

"The NATO PA riddles all the positive features of our country on 20-30 pages of its report on Kazakhstan," the deputy told his counterparts at the chamber's plenary session on June 8.

"We are being tagged with whatever wrongdoings, we are reproached for hindering the activity of NGOs," Nurakhmetov said who had recently participated in spring session of NATO PA in Ljubljana.

He informed his counterparts that he "had to make a speech at the session of the security committee (of NATO PA. - IF-K) and voice discontent with a draft report." "We requested that the report be revised and sent to the parliament of our country for familiarization," Nurakhmetov said.

According to him, the report can be revised and adopted at NATO PA session in November in Copenhagen.

At the same time, speaking about the PA sessions Nurakhmetov noted, "there were long debates over situations in many countries during 5 days."

"Parliamentarians of NATO member states and associated members are mostly interested in the problems of Russia, its arms, storage of nuclear materials, issues of democracy, the problems of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Belarus," Nurakhmetov said.

At the same time, according to deputy, "it stuck out a mile" that no one at the session "said a word about the problems in Ukraine, Georgia, and even in Kyrgyzstan."

"After the session of NATO PA I have made one conclusion: no one in the world is interested in that Kazakhstan should be a strong, prosperous, rich, legal, and a democratic state," Nurakhmetov said adding: "No one wants it, these are only diplomatic curtseys."
