Bishkek/Xinhua/UNI: President of Kyrgyzstan Sooronbai Jeenbekov has expressed condolences to his Kazakh counterpart Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and the people of Kazakhstan in connection with the victims of an airplane crash near Almaty city.

In his condolence message on Friday the Kyrgyz president said that he received the news of the human casualties in the Almaty-Nur-Sultan flight with a feeling of deep sorrow.
