Two large conflicts arose between representatives of Uighurs and Kazakhs in 2006 and between
Kurds and Kazakhs in 2007 within the Republic of Kazakhstan. Official authorities did not want to consider
these conflicts as inter-ethnic conflicts in order not to propagate further ethnic escalations and clashes. One
of the few reasons were due to the fact that the state did not want to worsen its international image as a
peaceful and multi-national state as it has proclaimed to be so, where representatives of around 130
nationalities live in peace and harmony together.
