  • Attachement 2 Inter-Ethnic Conflicts in Kazakhstan
    ATTACHEMENT 2 INTER-ETHNIC CONFLICTS IN KAZAKHSTAN BETWEEN 2006 AND 2007 Events in Aktau On August 20, 2006 Aktau City witnessed riots. Printed mass media reported that originally an unauthorized but peaceful rally of workers was taking place at the central square of the city Yntymak. The workers of Mangistau MunayGas OJSC were demanding salary increase. According to City Akimat (local authority), around 10 or 15 people were participating in the rally. Next day information leaked to the press that there were more than 200 people gathered at the square by night. According to city authorities small groups from the rally moved to courtyards of resident buildings and tried to organize pogroms. Other sources speak about clashes with police and number of arrested vary between 17 and 25 persons. Participants of the rally were joined by the youth who started violent clashes with the police. Opposition mass media reported that at that moment some people in crowed began screaming racial offenses against the Caucasians who live in the area and then began to smash cafeterias and shops owned by Lezgins, Chechens and Azerbaijanis. Mangyshlak peninsula which hosts port city of Aktau has already several times been a field of interethnic conflicts. The most notorious one is a massacre in New Ozen (currently Zhanaozen) of summer 1989 when indigenous people had bloody fights with Lezgins and Chechens. From time to time local conflicts between indigenous people, i.e. Kazakhs, and representatives of the Caucasian diasporas take place in villages of Mangyshlak peninsula. As a rule conflicts arise out of incidents of a criminal nature.

  • Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment
    Almaty–Issyk-Kul Alternative Road Economic Impact Assessment Almaty, a vibrant metropolis in Kazakhstan, is only kilometers away from lake Issyk-Kul in the Kyrgyz Republic, renowned for its mountains and moderate summers. However, the two destinations are separated by two magnificent mountain ranges. To bypass these mountains, the existing road stretches over ­ kilometers, leading to long travel times. This economic impact assessment analyzes what impact a more direct road between the two destinations would have for tourism and economic development in both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic. The report provides economically viable solutions that, within a supportive policy environment, would lead to strong economic development within the region. About Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor The Almaty–Bishkek Economic Corridor (ABEC) is the pilot economic corridor under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program. The motivation for ABEC is that Almaty and Bishkek can achieve far more together than either can achieve alone. The two cities are only ­ kilometers apart with relatively high economic density concentrated in services in the cities and agriculture in their hinterlands. Both Kazakhstan and the Kyrgyz Republic have acceded to the Eurasian Economic Union and the World Trade Organization. CAREC corridors and Belt and Road Initiative routes cross ABEC. The historic Silk Route, mountain ranges, and Lake lssyk-Kul underline the potential for tourism. But trade, especially in agricultural goods and services, between the two countries is below potential, and the region does not yet benefit from being one economic space. About the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Program The Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of member countries and development partners working together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction.

  • Ecosystem Service Assessment of the Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Niels Thevs
    Ecosystem service assessment of the Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Niels Thevs, Volker Beckmann, Sabir Nurtazin, Ruslan Salmuzauli, Azim Baibaysov, Altyn Akimalieva, Elisabeth A. A. Baranoeski, Thea L. Schäpe, Helena Röttgers, Nikita Tychkov 1. Territorial and geographical location Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Almatinskaya Oblast (province), Bakanas Rayon (county) The Ili Delta is part of the Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site 2. Natural and geographic data Basic geographical data: location between 45° N and 46° N as well as 74° E and 75.5° E. Fig. 1: Map of the Ili-Balkhash Basin (Imentai et al., 2015). Natural areas: The Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site comprises wetlands and meadow vegetation (the modern delta), ancient river terraces that now harbour Saxaul and Tamarx shrub vegetation, and the southern coast line of the western part of Lake Balkhash. Most ecosystem services can be attributed to the wetlands and meadow vegetation. Therefore, this study focusses on the modern delta with its wetlands and meadows. During this study, a land cover map was created through classification of Rapid Eye Satellite images from the year 2014. The land cover classes relevant for this study were: water bodies in the delta, dense reed (total vegetation more than 70%), and open reed and shrub vegetation (vegetation cover of reed 20- 70% and vegetation cover of shrubs and trees more than 70%). The land cover class dense reed was further split into submerged dense reed and non-submerged dense reed by applying a threshold to the short wave infrared channel of a Landsat satellite image from 4 April 2015.

Dr. Hikmet KORAŞ 2012-NİĞDE ÖZET Doğumu sürgün yıllarına denk gelen yazar, bir insanın yaşabileceği bütün acıları ve sı- kıntıları yaşamıştır. Bunu eserlerinde net bir biçimde görmek mümkündür. Bu nedenle eserle- rinin hepsinde hasret, kavuşma isteği, beklentiler ve ümitler önemli bir yer tutar. Vatan hasreti çeken yazarın, küçük yaşlardan itibaren aile sorumluluğunu da sırtına alması ile yükü bir kat daha artmıştır. Akranları gezip oynarken hayat onu çabuk olgunlaştırmıştır. Bu vesile ile hem ailenin sorumluluğunu taşımaya hem de işgal altında bulunan vatanın kurtuluşu için çeşitli çareler aramaya başlamıştır. Ümitlerini ve hayallerini gerçekleştirebilmek için çağın en önem- li ve etkili silahı olarak okuma ve yazma yolunu seçmiştir. Bu suretle gelecek kuşakların için- de özgürce yaşayabileceği güzel ve bağımsız bir ülke bırakmak için çalışmalara başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda hikâyeleri, ilk çalışmalarını teşkil etmektedir. O, dönemin şartları içinde doğru- dan dile getiremediklerini çeşitli sembollerle dile getirerek etrafındakileri uyarmaya ve uyan- dırmaya çalışmıştır. Bu şuurla hikâyelerini yazdığı zamanlar çok genç olmasına rağmen olgun bir kalem sahibinin yazabileceği kadar zarif, estetik, anlamlı çalışmalar ortaya koymuştur. Bu hikâyeler, Kazak yazılı edebiyatının geçmişi ile yazıldığı dönem göz önüne alındı- ğında ortaya konan ürünlerin modern Kazak hikâyeciliğine geçişin ilk basamaklarından birini teşkil ettiği görülmektedir. I ABSTRACT The author, who was born at the time of exile, lived all pains and troubles a person can live.
