Did convice to debut or was it rather a matter of a decision taken by the EBU/JESC reference group? :?
Maybe I read too much into it, but the Belarusian broadcaster did support Kazakhstan's debut in both JESC and Eurovision if I remember correctly. As the host, I believe it might have influenced the reference group's decision to allow Kazakhs to debut since apparently the EBU's higher authorities didn't seem to have played a part in it.
But that may well just be my interpretation.
And they said "no" to JESC participation
