  • 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.

  • The Relict Gull Larusrelictus in China and Elsewhere
    FORKTAIL 6 (1991): 43-65 The Relict Gull Larusrelictus in China and elsewhere DANIEL G. DUFF, DAVID N. BAKEWELL and MARTIN D. WilLIAMS Since the last review a decade ago of the Relict Gull Larus relictus, some new specimens have been discovered, observations made and photographic records identified. All the known localities for the species are now summarised. Historically, before the validity of the species was established in 1970, the majority of specimens and sight records seem to have been attributed to Brown-headed Gull L. brunnicephalus. Five breeding sites are now known. The first indications are that the non-breeding range lies at more northerly latitudes than hitherto surmised. The species seems to replace Brown-headed Gull through much of Mongolia, Nei Mongol autonomous region and neighbouring territories, but shows features suggesting close relationship with Great Black-headed Gull L. ichthY{1£tus. On 24 April 1929 K. G. Soderbom collected a specimen of an unusual hooded gull at Tsondol on the Edsin Gol (river) in Inner Mongolia, China. The resulting controversy surrounding this bird is well summarised by Kitson (1980); the specimen was initially described as a race of Mediterranean Gull Larus melanocephalus relictus (LOnnberg 1931), and subsequently as an aberrant Brown-headed Gull L. brnnnicephalus (Dement'yev and Gladkov 1969) or as a Brown-headed X Great Black-headed L. ichthyaetus hybrid (Vaurie 1962). The Relict Gull Larus relictuswas eventually confirmed as a valid species in 1970 (Auezov 1971, Stubbe and Bolod 1971, ll'ichyev and Zubakin 1988) following the discovery of two breeding colonies in the U.S.S.R Only five breeding sites have so far been located and the wintering grounds remain largely undiscovered.
