Minister of Information and Communications Dauren Abayev commented on the probability of blocking Telegram in Kazakhstan.

"We need to understand that blocking is an extreme measure that the state can take in the fight against the spread of illegal content. However, its implementation is possible only if the messaging administration ignores our notifications''.

''At the same time, we already see that the Telegram administration understands our requirements, and individual pages are being deleted. Therefore, the mass media spread news about the blocking of the messenger has a rather low probability" he said.

Recall, Kazakhstani appealed the blog of the Minister with a complaint that he was added to the Telegram without consent in the DCK group, recognized as an extremist organization.
