The article examines the role of the Nazarbayev’s successful international activities as an experienced negotiator and mediator in resolving international conflicts and crises. In this context, his peacekeeping mission on solving the Russian-Turkish crisis in 2015 has been examined by revealing his influence on providing regional and global security.
