Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev's resignation was unexpected, Russian upper house speaker Valentina Matviyenko said Tuesday
Nazarbayev said earlier in the day he had decided to resign as head of state from March 20.
Kazakh Senate speaker Kassym-Jomart Tokayev will be Kazakhstan's acting president.
The news about Nazarbayev's resignation is "very unexpected, very serious," especially for the Orenburg region, which borders on Kazakhstan, Matviyenko said.
