Sarsenov said that a "small group" of religious bigots and nationalists "think the country is only for Kazakhs" and "nationalist Russians who are convinced that they have the right to certain part of Kazakhstan's territory" threaten Kazakhstan.
Sarsenov说一小撮宗教狭隘主义人士以及民族主义分子“认为这个国家仅仅是哈萨克族的国家”，而“俄罗斯族民族主义分子认为他们对哈萨克斯坦的某些地区拥有控制权”，这些思想威胁了哈萨克斯坦的国家安全。
