Baryktabosov is apparently very friendly with Nazarbaev. The gossipers claim that he gave the Kazak Pres a 1-million dollar yacht. Anyway, he made loads of money in Dubai, and now is trying to spend it. His campaign looked a lot like Alga Kyrgystan’s – rock concerts, smart young people running around, etc. but he should have learned from their failure. Anyway, he’s bad news, so a good thing someone sold them teargas eh?

Baryktabosov is a mafioso. He paid people to come. Supposedly, he was granted Kazakh citizenship in 2003.

Kazakhstan seems to be playing some weird role in a lot of this.
