Answer 6

Asian. No doubt.

Answer 7

Kazakhstan is a country that geographically belongs to Asia, not Europe, but it's population is mixed and that's why you saw both European and Asian people.

On the point, 60% Kazakhs [Asians], 25% Russians [Europeans] and 15% other ethnic groups [both].

Answer 8

Kazakhstan is an Asian country, but it has a big Russian minority, approximately 25% according to wikipedia. So the European looking ones must be of Russian origin.

Answer 9

The border between Europe and Asia is not clearly defined, since it used to be covered by Russia.

If you consider the Ural river as the border, 5,4% of Kazakhstan's territory would be in Europe, the rest of it in Asia.

Kazakhstan is a member of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

Answer 10

Asian country for sure, however it was part of the USSR and many Russians migrated there in the past.
