More weirdness. This same guy who is saying he will meet with Putin on the 20th apparently arrived in Moscow today to meet with Putin. Why’d he show up if the meeting is cancelled? And what is the explanation for the cancellation?
“President Vladimir Putin is expected to meet today in St. Petersburg with Kyrgyzstan’s President Almazbek Atambayev, who has already reportedly arrived in the city.
An announcement on the meeting appeared last week amid concerns that Putin has not been seen in public since March 5, when Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi met him at the Kremlin, and later some mothers taped an International Women’s Day show with him aired March 8.
Other stills and videos of Putin meeting with regional governors and the head of the Supreme Court could not be authenticated as having been filmed live. There were a number of sources that indicated they could have been taped the previous week.
Only some journalists have received accreditation for the press conference following the meeting, where the two leaders are to discuss Kyrgyzstan’s possible entry into the Eurasian Customs Union. Currently Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are members but other allies in the Commonwealth of Independent States are reluctant to join.”

You’re confusing him with the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Different country, different President.
Idiot journalist.
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia are full members of the EAEU.
