diplomats and coordinated efforts of the Kazakh embassies in Egypt, Jordan, and
Israel, as noted by Aibek Smadiyarov, the spokesperson for the Kazakh Foreign
Ministry. According to him, the first evacuation operation will include 40
Kazakh citizens and four of their family members. Earlier it was reported that
