  • 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.

  • Dungans Appeal
    To UN Human Rights Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures, To international non-governmental human rights organisations Appeal On behalf of the representatives of the Dungan community, living in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, we express our respect and ask for your intervention and reaction to the ongoing persecution of the Dungans by the state bodies (especially law enforcement) of Kazakstan following the conflict that took place on February 7-8, 2020 in Korday district, Jambyl region, Kazakhstan. Till this day the Dungans experience arbitrary detentions, arrests, torture and other inhuman treatment by the law enforcement agents. As of May 13, 2020 out of 25 persons1 arrested for the events in February 2020, 17 are the Dungans. 5 out of 17 have been already sentenced: 3 persons have been sentenced to 1,5 years of imprisonment for the conflict with the police2 (article 380 of the Criminal code of Kazakhstan, resistance to police), and 2 persons are sentenced to 2,5 year and fined for the conflict with the Kazakh elderly person on the eve of the conflict3 (article 293 of the Criminal code, hooliganism, and article 107 of the Criminal code, injury). The other 12 detainees are arrested, and being under investigation. The arrests and detentions continue. According to the attorney D. Mombayev, who presented the interests of the Yukhnu family (sentenced for the conflict with the Kazakh elderly person), the trial was biased and the sentence was based on false information.4 Moreover, the residents of the villages Bular Batyr and Sortobe experience continued intimidation and harassment. The police regularly conduct searches and arrests.

The deformed buildings in the Novopokrovka site of ancient settlements situated in the central part of the basin unequivocally indicate seismic damage and subsequent abandonment of the settle ment. The earthquake happened at the end of the Karakhanid epoch (the end of the 12th century A.D.). The intensity of seismic oscillations (I = VIII–IX) at the site was reinforced by unfavorable engineering geology conditions. The source of the earthquake was probably related to displacements along the piedmont YsykAta Fault located to the south of the site.
