Kazakhstan and Russia on their way to joint air defence system

The legal framework of the joint air defence system of Kazakhstan and Russia has been completed, and its practical implementation has commenced, Tengrinews reports citing RIA Novosti.
Kazakhstan Minister of Defence Imangali Tasmagambetov met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu on April 16 within the framework of the International Security Conference in Moscow, Russia that brought together 400 representatives of 70 countries, including 15 ministers of defence and representatives of six international organisations on April 16-17.

He added that the commander of the system who will be selected jointly by Kazakhstan and Russia, had not been appointed, but the candidate for the position had been approved by the Russian President Vladimir Putin and that President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev would soon announce his decision. “Therefore, the system virtually enters into force in practice,” Tasmagambetov said.

Et spennende land, bra med en slik tråd. Kan nevnes at det av og til er rykten om at Russere i landet ønsker at deler av landet skal bli Russiskt.

Landet har gjennomgått en voldsom demografisk forandring under 1900-talet. I en periode hadde den daværende Sovjetrepubliken en majoritet bestående av Russere, Ukrainere, og Tysker (Volgatyskere). Disse gruppene har flyttet vestover (Tyskene til Tyskland).

Tvangskollektiviseringen og den store tørken gjorde at landet delte sjebne med Ukraina, det vil si en massedød. 38 % av befolkningen døde i denne perioden.

Språkmessig har man en løsning som kanskje kan brukes i feks Ukraina. Russisk er ikke statsspråk, men et offisielt språk.

Putin's Targets Will eastern Ukraine and northern Kazakhstan be next?

The Russian government tells the world that the Russian-speaking people of Ukraine need to be protected. The de facto annexation of Crimea has occurred. A logical and necessary step from Putin’s point of view. After all, more than 58 percent of the Crimean population is Russian. Are eastern Ukraine and northern Kazakhstan, with their large percentage of Russians, next? This is, on the whole, unlikely. However, it can no longer be excluded, in particular regarding eastern Ukraine.

Today, the Kazakhs constitute noticeably less than half the population of the entire inflated territory of Kazakhstan. They are concentrated in their long-standing ancestral domains along a large arc of lands in the south … the population here is indeed predominantly Kazakh. And if it should prove to be their wish to separate within such boundaries, I say Godspeed.

President Nursultan Abisjuly Nazarbajev
- the leader of the nation

Men hvem blir neste President i dette svært fasinerende landet?

Wikipedia om President Nazarbajev

Nazarbayev har selv blitt kalt en av de "ultimate oligarkene" av post-sovjetiske stater i Sentral Asia. Han antas å ha overført minst $ 1 milliarder av landets oljeinntekter til private bankkonti i andre land og hans familie kontrollerer mange andre viktige bedrifter i Kasakhstan. Han sies også å ha god økonomisk støtte fra hans "spesielle forbindelser" som f.eks. de kasakhstanske-israelske forretningsmannen Alexander Mashkevich, som, som i 2004, som er antatt å styre så mye som en fjerdedel av Kasakhstans økonomi.

Tiden går, og ny president blir det neste store i Kazakstan.



Den ukarismatiske men handlekraftige President Nazarbajev har styrt shappa i 25 år. Spekulasjonene rundt potensiell etterfølger øker stadig i takt med hans alder. Noen peker på borgermesteren i Almaty, 64-årige Akhmetzhan Yesimov og statsminister Karim Massimov, 49 år til sammenlikning, som de hotteste kandidatene, mens andre mener kampen står mellom Massimov og Nazarbajevs ikke direkte fattige svigersønn, som heller ikke har verdens korteste rulleblad, bokseglade Timur Kulibayev. Personlig holder jeg en knapp på Kina-vennen og Kina-utdannede Massimov (nåværende statsminister). Ikke bare fordi han er ung og har den feteste barten, og at han har vært statsminister 2007-2012 og nå nylig gjeninnsatt, og tross mørke skyer pga hans minoritetsrøtter, og tross at han liker nattklubber (!), men jeg tror hans bånd og håndgripelige relasjoner dypt inn i Bejing, hvis appetitt for økonomisk vekst ikke virker liten, vil være avgjørende for Karim i å bli den nye the leader of the nation. Hvordan Russland vil påvirke "valget" som Nazarbayev vil gjøre til the leader of the nation blir mildt sagt interessant.

Karim ble nylig valgt som statsminister igjen, uten protester... Stratfor kommenterer dette:

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev has reshuffled his government again, reinstating Karim Massimov as prime minister. Nazarbayev is looking for a strong leader to implement tough economic and financial restructuring and to bring in large foreign investment. Massimov's return could raise tensions with Russia if the reinstated premier courts large non-Russian foreign investment, especially from China and the West. His return also will shake up the balance of power among the political circles vying to succeed Nazarbayev.

Karim Massimov Re-Appointed Prime Minister

in Nation on 30 April
ASTANA – Immediately following newly elected President Nursultan Nazarbayev’s inauguration on April 29, Nazarbayev re-nominated Karim Massimov Prime Minister of Kazakhstan. The re-appointment came later in the day by presidential decree following a plenary session of the Mazhilis (lower house of Parliament) with members of the legislature giving their unanimous consent to Massimov’s candidature.

http://www.astanatimes.com/2015/04/k...rime-minister/


Og hans relasjoner til Kina kan vise seg å bli viktige:



For China, Kazakhstan’s importance indeed extends far beyond economics. The Central Asian state is not only an important energy source and investment destination for China – cooperation with Kazakhstan has clear links to security in China’s Xinjiang province. China hopes that the Silk Road Economic Belt will boost Xinjiang’s economic fortunes, and that this growth will help quell ethnic tensions in the Uyghur Autonomous Region. Kazakhstan, which shares a lengthy border with Xinjiang, is seen as first step on Silk Road that will make economic development possible.

http://thediplomat.com/2015/05/china...to-kazakhstan/



"Samspillet" med Putin og Russland blir også interessant fremover. Med blikk på Ukraina-krisen/krigen, er det stadig flere stemmer som mener at Russland vil rette fokus mot andre etnisk-russiske minoriteter som føler seg truet, og vil ha tilbake det som er "sitt". Her er en (av mange) artikler om dette. Stratfor kommenterer:

Kazakhstan is expected to begin courting China and the West for investments, particularly in the energy, mining, transportation and possibly banking sectors. The question remains whether Russia is comfortable with Massimov's inviting more non-Russian foreign investment into Kazakhstan, especially as the Customs Union evolves into the upcoming Eurasia Union and begins taking on new members. Massimov's relationship to Kulibayev — who has strong ties to Moscow and sits on Russian natural gas firm Gazprom's board — reportedly has been repaired. This could mean that Russia has approved of Massimov's reappointment.


With Massimov's return to a dominant position in the government, the other question is whether his political base will rally again and allow him to be a possible successor to Nazarbayev. Massimov is still popular among the Kazakh people, but it would be difficult for him to be president because of his Uighur ethnicity. Moreover, unless he leaves office suddenly, Nazarbayev would have to support any successor. Massimov's return and subsequent attempt to address Kazakhstan's economic difficulties will shake up the balance of power among the many players who seek control, whether Massimov is a contender for the presidency or not.

What Putin’s Favorite Guru Tells Us About His Next Target

Today, with the world’s attention focused on Russia’s incursion into Ukraine, we might look to Solzhenitsyn’s writings for a clue as to where Putin’s next aggressive move might be: Kazakhstan. Solzhenitsyn saw Kazakhstan in the same light as Ukraine, suggesting that it was not really a separate state and that much of its territory is historically Russian. “Its present huge territory was stitched together by the communists in a completely haphazard fashion: wherever migrating herds made a yearly passage would be called Kazakhstan,” he wrote in his essay. “Today the Kazakhs constitute noticeably less than half the population of the entire inflated territory of Kazakhstan.”

Putin has taken a similar tack toward Kazakhstan publicly. He managed to insult the Kazakhs in the midst of the Ukrainian crisis by saying that their president, Nursultan Nazarbaev, had “created a state on a territory where no state had ever existed.”

Kazakhstan, like Ukraine, has a large Russian population, and as in Ukraine, Russian nationalists view parts of Kazakhstan as Russian land. Kazakhstan, Solzhenitsyn wrote: “had been assembled from southern Siberia and the southern Ural region, plus the sparsely populated central areas which had since that time been transformed and built up by Russians, by inmates of forced-labor camps, and by exiled peoples.”

Følgende artikkel er også litt interessant. Den beskriver myndighetenes påståtte planer om å "flytte" 300.000 etniske Kazakhs til russiskdominerte områder. Kazakhstan benekter dette fra myndighetshold med et enkelt "no" (se lenger ned):

Staunton, April 4 – In the wake of Putin’s Crimean Anschluss, according to some Kazakhstan news sources, the government of that country plans to shift 300,000 ethnic Kazakhs to the still predominantly ethnic Russian northern portions of Kazakhstan to block any Moscow effort to undermine that country’s territorial integrity.

Kazakh officials have denied the specifics of these reports, including the motivation and the numbers; but in fact, according to Aleksandr Shustov, Astana has been resettling ethnic Kazakhs in the northern part of Kazakhstan since the 1990s and clearly wants to change the ethnic balance in the north.

he Kazakhstan government’s program of changing the ethnic composition of the northern regions of that country has worked. By the beginning of 2010, Russians exceeded ethnic Kazakhs only in the North-Kazakhstan oblast where the former formed 48.2 percent of the population.

At the same time, Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev has expressed concern about the outflow of ethnic Russian specialists and according to some reports even asked his Russian counterpart to slow down the program of repatriating ethnic Russians from Kazakhstan, Shustov says.

Kilde: http://www.interpretermag.com/astana...ussian-threat/

Myndighetene benekter altså dette (ref link i quoten over) - i sum med et enkelt "no":

The Kazakh authorities have denied such plans soon. The head of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection Tamara Duysenova March 28 in response to the question of Kazakhstan's Internet resource Tengrinews.kz said it was not true. "The fact that there is no such thing - she said, - There is a resolution of the government for the resettlement of repatriates in certain regions. If arriving repatriates, then they are given more benefits and employment in the northern regions. And the fact that 300 thousand people relocated - no. "

Som alltid, noen interessante kommentarer i kommentarfeltene på ulike nettsteder, fritt oversatt med Google Translate:

Generally it is the idea of ​​Rothschild, to settle north of Kazakhstan, first of Yugurs Suara, then the Chinese, there grow GMO corn and destroy all life around. ie Russian and Kazakhs in Kazakhstan want to replace the Uighurs and the Chinese. NAS again Uighur premier set. We hope that this is not like Putin, and will on the contrary, the population of the north of Kazakhstan Russian, yet in 2015 we will all be in the Eurasian Union. Uighurs and the Chinese did not make it.

Kazakhs, the bulk of friendly people loyal to Russian and Russian.

Nicholas, like you, and fed to the death of Russia! What kind of succession are you saying? The whole world is against Russia and Russian destroy themselves, this is enough and provocateur Zhirik.

Russian nationalists want to see I see a problem in Kazakhstan on a national basis but its presence in the short-circuit is negligible. Kazakh and I live in the south of the fault we do not have a sharp contrast to the nationalism of the Russian (heard in Astrakhan and the border areas of Kazakhstan Kazakh name-calling Korsakov) and Uzbekistan. Kazakhs by nature a very peaceful and calm people, and thanks to this we are all people live in peace and friendship. And Russian faults are very different from Russian Russia, among acquaintances moyh Russian patriots and all great guys. Even if it happens, God forbid something even remotely similar event as in the Ukraine, I am sure that the northern regions of the fault will not go with outstretched hand to Russia as confident on the Nazis and chauvinists. RF better than its Far East and Siberia have to worry.

Kilde: Oil and Gas Journal. Gammelt dokument (2008) men historisk litt interessant.

A recent example of the difficulties with barter trade arrangements occurred when southern Kazakhstan, including Almaty, was without gas for a week following Turkmenistan's decision to cut gas shipments to Ukraine via the Bukhara-Ural pipeline. Kazakhstan had received gas transported by that pipeline as compensation for the pipeline running through its territory.

En annen historisk artikkel fra desember 2005, beskriver litt av nærheten til Kina, som jo Massimov har svært tette og nære relasjoner til:

China lays down gauntlet in energy war

The December China-Kazakhstan pipeline opening is one part of a massive Chinese plan to secure as much Kazakh oil riches as possible.

The Chinese plan to connect several pieces of infrastructure - part Soviet-built, part Chinese-built - then reverse the flow of some of them and forge a new export corridor stretching from Kazakhstan's oil-rich Caspian basin, including Kashagan, through a series of western and central-Kazakh oil zones, and ultimately into China. With completion of this major project, China will for the first time have secured a source of imported energy not vulnerable to US aircraft carrier battle groups, as is the case with present oil deliveries from the Persian Gulf and Sudan.

Beijing takes the geopolitical prize
In October, Beijing scored a second major geopolitical coup when China completed a $4.18 billion takeover of PetroKazakhstan Inc. It was, in a sense, revenge on Washington for the blocking of the China acquisition of Unocal. US oil majors had made major efforts to lock up Kazakhstan oil after discovery of major oil offshore in the Kashagan field. They failed. ExxonMobil was charged with bribery of Kazakh officials to win a presence in the Kazakh oil business, and a senior Mobil executive was later jailed on US tax evasion in New York tied to the Kazakh bribery payments.

Nazarbayev enjoys good relations with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. He was general secretary of the Communist Party when Kazakhstan was part of the USSR, and is regarded as a sly fox in terms of dealing with Moscow, while also keeping a clear distance from Moscow.

In October, Russia's Lukoil failed in its bid to buy up the Kazakh state oil company, PetroKazakhstan, in a privatization. Nazarbayev indicated a major geopolitical shift in strategy, compared with a decade or more ago, when it appeared that Washington was to be the major foreign ally of Nazarbayev. At that time Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's company, Chevron, became the lead oil contractor and operator in the Kazakh Tengiz oil field. That was just after the breakup of the Soviet Union and the US oil presence in Kazakhstan was a major US political priority supported by the Bill Clinton administration.

Members of the WTO Working Group welcomed the completion of "more than 20 years old and one of the most difficult negotiations in the history of the organization."

The complexity and uniqueness of Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO is in negotiations on tariff adjustments because of Kazakhstan's membership in the Customs Union, the Eurasian Economic Union, which includes Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia, the WTO noted.

Kazakh Growth Rate to Bottom Out in 2015

The recovery of the Kazakh economy depends on Russia and China.

The good news, according to the World Bank’s latest Kazakhstan Economic Update, is that in 2015 the country’s steeply diving growth rate should bottom out. The bad news is that the recovery won’t be quick and depends on Russia and China.
The update estimates that Kazakhstan’s growth in 2015 will drop to 1.3 percent. Five years ago, Kazakh growth pushed ahead at 7.3 percent, rising to 7.5 percent in 2011. After 2013, the growth rate began to dive sharply, from 6 percent in 2013 to an estimated 4.3 percent last year. The World Bank notes, as many have, that the downturn is largely tied to falling oil prices and “regional geopolitical developments.”

Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev has indicated that he has no plans to further devalue the currency, although the World Bank report comments that “for the medium term a more neutral monetary policy stance and a more flexible exchange rate regime would more sustainably support growth.”

Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Kazakhstan's rating to Baa3 with negative outlook, concluding review for downgrade
Global Credit Research - 22 Apr 2016

New York, April 22, 2016 -- Moody's Investors Service has today downgraded the issuer and senior unsecured ratings of the Government of Kazakhstan to Baa3 from Baa2 and assigned a negative outlook. The provisional MTN program rating was also downgraded to (P)Baa3 from (P)Baa2. The key drivers of the downgrade are 1. Kazakhstan's fiscal and economic strength have deteriorated due to the recent structural shift in oil prices. 2. Banking sector risks have increased due to the general slowdown in the economy and the currency depreciation, weakening many banks' solvency metrics, particularly those with a higher exposure to legacy problem loans and foreign

Stratfor (mulig betalingsmur):
A Merger Could Ruin the Kazakh Energy Sector

The minority shareholders of Kazakhstan's lucrative energy firm, KazMunaiGas Exploration and Production (KMG EP), will vote Aug. 3 on whether to sell their shares to the firm's parent company, effectively consolidating the two. The parent company, KazMunaiGas (KMG), is fully owned by the state and is involved in some capacity in most of the country's major energy projects. KMG currently owns 57 percent of KMG EP, but the subsidiary has been fairly autonomous since its foundation — a fact that has at times put the two at odds.

If the deal goes through, it will affect the entire Kazakh energy sector. KMG EP has planned to use its cash stockpiles to drill hundreds of new wells over the next two years as its current fields age and decline. Now the company is delaying those projects, waiting to see if its finances are plundered and if the payments owed to it by KMG will be paid. But even if it gets these things, the company will be stretched by government requirements to cover shortfalls in workers' salaries caused by currency instability and inflation. The firm's Western board members have also threatened to resign if the state allows KMG a full buyout. If they do, investor and business sentiment toward the firm and the country will deteriorate.

Hvordan gikk det?
