Just googled Kazakh visa & clicked the news tab & there's a couple of articles (Moscow times as mentioned and tengrinews) seeming to back this up.
Kyrgyz & Tajik parliaments have passed the laws (waiting presidents to sign). Kyrgyz govt reckon the increased tourist spend will outweigh loss of consular fees.
Kazakh one is a trial period for citizens of OECD countries to see if it boosts tourism (90 day visa free for tourists only). Plan is for it to come in 1st July though not set in stone.
Let's hope so

The Embassy of the Kyrgyz Republic to the Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, France, EU, NATO and UNESCO


Kyrgyzstan introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of 44 countries up to 60 days

President of the Kyrgyz Republic Almazbek Atambaev signed the Law 'On introduction of visa free regime for citizens of some countries for up to 60 days'. The law was adopted in order to simplify procedures for issuing visas to foreign citizens and increase the attractiveness of the tourism market, tourism development and investments.

This Law was entered in force on July 27, 2012.
