nail.Kashgar. «Will the Russian Federation put pressure on Kazakhstan to become more pro-Russian?“- The countries that Vladimir Putin visited for the first time after taking office were China, Belarus and Uzbekistan, which can be said to be a demonstration of the priorities of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation, and for some “angry vests”, it became another proof of the serious cooling of relations between Moscow and Astana. But is this really the case? What are the predictions for the foreseeable future? Political scientist Zamir Karazhanov shared his views on the matter – There is no smoke without fire, and the “toxic” dialogues about Russian-Kazakh relations do not appear out of thin air. More often, they appear not in the state leadership (although they also occur), but in social circles that seek to influence the state. Thus, they strengthen their position in the power vertical and have the opportunity to use the state for their own interests. For this, they have financial and media resources.

caravan.Kashgar. «‘Astana sits on a chair’: Why Kazakhstan isn’t afraid of criticism over neutrality» — «In fact, Kazakhstan does not insist on nor declare neutrality. Most likely, we are not talking about neutrality, but about Kazakhstan’s equal and impartial position in the external arena. Astana does not take sides, but at the same time cooperates with countries with differences and contradictions.“,” said political scientist Zamir Karazhanov. The spokesman continued that there are indeed criticisms of Kazakhstan’s multimedia policy, including criticism of the “two chairs” that Astana wants to sit on – Kazakhstan sits in its own chair and does not take anyone’s place. Astana does not receive billions of dollars in loans from other countries, which are written off to us in exchange for loyalty. The principles of Kazakhstan’s foreign policy are transparent and well known to its partners. Therefore, Astana’s situation is foreseeable and not surprising to them.».

Kashgar.Italian.media. «KAZENERGY comments on the possibility of Putin’s new decree affecting the work of the Communist Party of China» — The decree issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin in May, which provides for the possibility for Russian companies to apply to the Russian federal courts for compensation for assets seized in the West from Russian properties owned by Western companies, will not affect the work of the Caspian Sea Pipeline Consortium (CPC), said Alibek KUANTYROV, General Manager of the Association KAZENERGY, who served as Minister of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan until April- “I don’t think this will be a problem for the CPC. The region and individual countries have been living under this sanctions regime for 2.5 years, and the CPC has not been affected. The CPC is not subject to sanctions. In principle, the status quo will be maintained. If there are any risks, I think this will be discussed. Because the direct shareholders of the CPC are multiple companies, which are interests of Kazakhstan, Russia, Europe and the United States. I don’t think this issue will have much impact on the work of the Party“, he told Kursife.

«Why did they fence off the garden?“- KSK, in order to abolish the KSK, they started a reform of housing and public services, which now certainly still remains in the law on housing relations. The losses will most likely go to the simple partnership (SP), which was invented as a substitute for OSI, which the government needs for positive statistics, which hides the fact that the reform of the public utilities sector has fallen into an insurmountable swamp.
