Chinese and Kazakhstan workers had a fight next to the dormitory of EurasiaStroyCapital in Atyrau suburbs, the company’s deputy director Altay Tomakayev told Interfax-Kazakhstan. According to him, the conflict was caused by language issue. “Chinese workers were speaking loudly to each other and Kazakhstan workers thought that they yelled at them,” Tomakayev said and stressed that the fight was not massive. “There were not thirty, but only 5-6 people fighting. The other were just watching,” he said. Meanwhile, according to Tomakayev, 4 of the participants of the fight with light body injuries are Chinese citizens. The total of 200 people live in the dormitories of EurasiaStroyCapital, including 110 Chinese citizens.
