  • KAZAKH FOREIGN MINISTER REITERATES CALL FOR CENTRAL ASIAN UNION. Speaking at the second day of the seventh annual Eurasian Media Forum in Almaty, Foreign Minister Marat Tazhin reiterated on April 25 the Kazakh proposal to form a union of Central Asian states, saying that it would encourage trade and economic cooperation, Interfax-Kazakhstan reported. He added that such a union would be based on the principles of "voluntarism, pragmatism, and social support" for the integration process, and would also lead to the formation of a "free-trade zone" in the region. During his recent state visit to Kazakhstan (see "RFE/RL Newsline," April 23, 2008), Uzbek President Islam Karimov expressed his opposition to the proposed union of Central Asian states, while Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiev has expressed support for the plan (see "RFE/RL Newsline," April 18, 2008). Tazhin further hailed on April 25 the bilingual nature of the media in Kazakhstan, noting that Russian-language media outlets face no obstacles, Kazakhstan Today and ITAR-TASS reported. He added that the Kazakh-language media is also developing, but not at the expense of the Russian-language press, adding that there are 467 Kazakh-language, 874 Russian-language, and 879 bilingual newspapers currently in print in Kazakhstan, with another 328 newspapers offered in the 40 different languages of local ethnic groups. He also cited Kazakh state support and subsidies for newspapers in the German, Korean, Ukrainian, and Uyghur languages. RFE/RL Newsline 28.04.2008
  • KAZAKHSTAN'S EDUCATION MINISTRY OUTLINES SCHEDULE FOR TRANSITION TO LATIN ALPHABET. The Education Ministry released on July 23 a preliminary assessment of the measures and timeframe required to switch from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet, as proposed in October 2006 at a session of the Assembly of Peoples of Kazakhstan by President Nursultan Nazarbaev, fergana.ru and RBK reported on July 23 and 24, respectively (see "RFE/RL Newsline," October 25, 2006). The ministry calculated the transition would be implemented in five stages over a period of 12-15 years and would cost an estimated $294 million. Republishing existing textbooks and classical literature in the new alphabet would take an additional 20-30 years. RFE/RL Newsline 24.07.2007

  • EastWest Institute Russian Regional Investor Vol. 2, No. 11, 22 March 2000 FIRST YAKUTSK DIAMOND TRADE A SENSATION. The result of the first diamond trade in the newly-established Yakutsk branch of the Russian Diamond Chamber was a wild success. A take of $8 million at the branch which just opened in February beat the record from all previous sales. Branch Director Mikhail Nikolaev said that the previous five trade sessions generated sales of half a million dollars, and therefore the results of the Yakutsk branch's debut "can be considered sensational." Thirteen firms participated in the auction, including companies from Belgium, Japan, Israel, and the US. Over $11.2 million worth of diamonds were placed on sale. The next trade session will take place in Moscow on 17-24 April. Before the end of this year the Russian Diamond Chamber will have four regional branches. In addition to the offices in Kaliningrad and Yakutsk, a branch will open in Yekaterinburg in the middle of May and in St. Petersburg in the summer. The Diamond Chamber may become the 26th member of the World Federation of Diamond Exchanges, an issue currently being discussed by the Federation's legal committee. Joining the Federation would allow the Diamond Chamber's branches to broaden their activities significantly. - Oleg Yemelyanov in Yakutsk
  • EastWest Institute Russian Regional Report Vol. 5, No. 6, 16 February 2000 SAKHA TAKES EARLY STEPS IN BATTLE AGAINST AIDS. "Today there are 27,000 HIV positive individuals in Russia and the disease is quickly spreading," according to Arkadiush Maishik, a representative of the UN's program on HIV-AIDS. He and Moscow Project Coordinator Tatyana Shumilina recently visited Yakutsk to further the work of their program. AIDS first appeared in Sakha in 1996, when it was found in a Turkish worker in the region. The UN representatives came at the invitation of the republican government and parliament. "Today Sakha has 97 HIV positive individuals, so it is too soon to speak about an epidemic. But the fact that the leadership of the republic is concerned about this problem gives some hope. Unfortunately, we know of other examples, where local officials reject our help even though the situation there is even worse," Maishik said. The city of Moscow is such a case. The personal interest and support of the head of a region is one of the key operating principles for the UN program. Only in this case will a region be included in the pilot program "Taking action to prevent an HIV-AIDS epidemic in Russia." This program was launched in 1998. Participating in the program could make the region eligible for support from international sponsors. However, they must meet several conditions. First, the UN team must analyze the situation in each region to determine what causes the spread of HIV. Second, the UN must determine what has already been done, and what the region is planning to do in the course of the next three years. Once the UN team has gathered this data, it will set up a federal program for 17 Russian regions, which the UN will present to various sponsors. So far the UN team has studied the situation in 10 regions which have agreed to participate in the program. In general, there are two main problems in Russia. First, there is very little monitoring for HIV and therefore the numbers describing how many are infected are only approximations. Second, many people think that AIDS is simply a medical problem, without realizing that it affects all of society. While visiting Sakha, the UN team sought to gather as much hard data as possible. They visited medical, customs, and drug rehabilitation centers to glean more information about the number of infections detected among the populations most at risk. The team expressed the hope that Russia would not become another Namibia where 20-25 teachers die of AIDS every day. - Oleg Yemelyanov in Yakutsk
  • SIBERIAN REPUBLIC ADOPTS ENGLISH AS ONE OF ITS 'WORKING LANGUAGES.' President Mikhail Nikolaev of the Republic of Sakha (formerly known as Yakutia) has signed a decree that makes English a mandatory language for instruction in schools as well as one of the "working languages" at official functions, ITAR-TASS reported on 6 January. According to the decree, the measure is necessary because of "the intensification of inter-state communication, the broad adoption of advanced information technologies, and Sakha's desire for integration into the world economic community, as well as for the creation of a cadre of workers who meet international standards." Ministers and department heads have been instructed to provide English lessons for their staffs. Sakha is perhaps best known for its extensive diamond production. RFE/RL Newsline
  • SAKHA SEEKS TATARSTAN'S HELP. A government delegation from the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia met in Kazan on 5 August with Tatar Prime Minister Rustam Minnikhanov to secure financial and technical help in overcoming the aftermath of recent flooding, RFE/RL's Kazan bureau reported. The damage from the floods, which affected 22 of Sakha's 35 regions, is estimated at about 1 billion rubles ($158 million) or 20 percent of the republic's annual budget. The Sakha delegation expressed particular interest in Tatar-produced diesel generators and special vehicles. Minnikhanov promised that Tatarstan will give what help it can afford. The delegation also met with Tatar State Council Deputy Chairwoman Zilya Valeeva to compare the two regions' legislation. RFE/RL 06.08.98

  • AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL CONDEMNS DEATH PENALTY IN UZBEKISTAN, BELARUS. Amnesty International condemned Belarus and Uzbekistan as "the last countries from the former Soviet Union that carry out the death penalty," in a 4 October press release on the organization's site (http://www.amnesty.org). The press release announces a new report, "Belarus/Uzbekistan: The Last Executioners," which contains case studies and recommendations. Dilobar Khudoiberganova, an activist with the Uzbekistan-based organization Mothers against the Death Penalty and Torture, told RFE/RL's Uzbek Service on 4 October that "Most death sentences are issued on the basis of testimony obtained under duress during the investigation." Amnesty International's Anna Sunder-Plassman told RFE/RL's Uzbek Service that she hopes Belarus and Uzbekistan will follow the example of other countries of the former Soviet Union in doing away with capital punishment.
