    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.

Abstract The development years of sovereign Kazakhstan show that polylingualism in the society not only infringes on the rights and dignity of the Kazakh language but also creates necessary conditions for its development and progress. According to the state programme for language development, three languages’ priority has been approved: Kazakh, Russian and English. In addition to Kazakh as the state language and Russian as the language of inter-ethnic communication, English is an essential means of communication. The most important strategic task of education in Kazakhstan is, on the one hand, to preserve the best Kazakh educational traditions and, on the other hand, to provide school leavers with international qualifications and develop their linguistic consciousness, based on mastering the state, native and foreign languages.

Ozenbayeva, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Daniya Nurmukhankyzy, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Erbol Zh Beisov, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Asel Sadykbekova, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov Asel Zholdosheva, Zhetysu State University named after I.Zhansugurov ABSTRACT The main goal of the work is to study the problems of legal regulation in the use and development of renewable energy sources. The authors established that in the world, regulatory legal acts are being developed in the field of the use of renewable energy sources. It was established that the main reasons for the development of renewable energy are ensuring energy and environmental security, preserving the environment, preserving the reserves of own energy resources for future generations and increasing the consumption of raw materials for non- energy use of fuel. The authors try to determine the place and role of renewable energy sources in the system of law. Keywords: Renewable Energy, Fixed Tariff, Biomass, Legal Regulation, Alternative Energy Sources. INTRODUCTION Kazakhstan is one of the world leaders in diversity and number of mineral resources. As oil, gas, coal and other mineral deposits are most important components for the state economy and the regulation in these spheres is rather elaborated, the government historically paid less attention to the development of the alternative energy sources. For example, nowadays the majority of the electrical power plants in Kazakhstan are fired by natural gas, coal and oil- products.

  • Kazakhstan: Derisking Renewable Energy Investment

    Kazakhstan: Derisking Renewable Energy Investment

    United Nations Development Programme Kazakhstan: Derisking Renewable Energy Investment 1 Key Points for Decision-Makers The objective of this report is to analyse the most cost-effective public derisking measures to promote private sector investment in utility-scale renewable energy in the Republic of Kazakhstan (“Kazakhstan”). Target sectors are wind energy and solar photovoltaic (PV). The report sets out the results from a quantitative, investment-risk informed modelling analysis. Modelling data has been obtained from structured interviews with private sector investors and developers. This report was prepared in collaboration with Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy. Context and Opportunity for Renewable Energy Kazakhstan’s power sector currently relies heavily on fossil fuels, reflecting the country’s endowment with an abundance of oil, natural gas, and coal reserves. Total available capacity for electricity generation “Kazakhstan is is 18.8 GW, with nearly 75% of the plants being powered by locally-sourced coal. Rapid economic growth well positioned for in the past decade has led to increases in electricity demand, but the country faces constraints in an renewable energy aging generation and transmission infrastructure dating to the Soviet-era. Kazakhstan has some of the lowest retail tariffs in the world, a function of consumption subsidies for fossil fuels (estimated at USD investment, 5.3 billion in 2014), low-cost generation from fully-depreciated power plants, and non cost-reflective tariff with abundant pricing. Kazakhstan is also characterized by regional imbalances in generation, notably in the south, wind resources resulting in supply disruptions and electricity imports from neighbouring countries. and a compelling The potential for renewable energy in Kazakhstan is strong.
