Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Amanbek Demesinov, director of
the international organizations section of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs on October 3. Demesinov was not familiar with the issue, and
was therefore noncommittal in terms of offering Kazakhstani support
or co-sponsorship. Demesinov said that the Government of Kazakhstan
would review the issue and respond either to Post or through their
delegation at the United Nations.
