KAZAKHSTAN WANTS RUSSIA TO END WEAPONS TESTS AT KAPUSTIN YAR,
ASHULUK
Kazakhstan Prime Minister Kasymzhomart Tokaev said
that Astana hopes the Russian authorities will stop their
tests at the Kapustin Yar and Ashuluk military proving
grounds in Kazakhstan, ITAR-TASS reported on 18 May. The
prime minister said he was making that request because
several recent tests had sent missiles off course into
civilian areas. PG
