Almaty. April 28. Kazakhstan Today - Only seven nuclear states should have the right to carry out nuclear research. The head of state, Nursultan Nazarbayev, said during the IX Eurasian Media Forum in Almaty today, the agency reports.

I consider that all five nuclear states and de facto two more, Pakistan and India, should unite in one club. It should be forbidden to all other states to own nuclear weapons," N. Nazarbayev said.

The head of state also reminded that Kazakhstan brought a package of the new initiatives on strengthening of the non-proliferation mode of nuclear weapons at the Washington summit.
