The crisis has spurred suggestions of a rift between Mr Tokayev and his long-ruling predecessor Nursultan Nazarbayev, 81, who spoke for the first time since the protests on Tuesday and denied any conf

lict with the president.

Video distributed by the ministry showed troops landing at an airport in the southern Russian city of Ulyanovsk, where a ceremony was held to mark their return. The decision to despatch peacekeepers was a first for the Collective Security Treaty Organisation , often touted by Russia as a Nato equivalent.

He said Mr Tokayev had"full" control and described himself as"a pensioner", stressing there is:"no conflict or confrontation between elites".
