In 2006 Bank «TuranAlem» despite tough competition remained its leading positions and showed impressive growth rates. We tripled net income and more than doubled share- ‘6 holders’ capital and assets. We made one more step to establish the bank as CIS largest financial institute by starting the asset consolidation program. Last year BTA entered list of five top banks on asset volume in CIS. Bank’s 2006 net income increased from 110 mln. to 307,7 mln. dollars USA, assets dou- bled and totaled some 16,3 billion dollars USA, bank’s shareholders’ capital increased from 650 mln. to 1,5 billion dollars USA. In the accounting period we strengthened our positions in retail, small and medium- sized business. For the first time in Kazakhstan the amount of fixed deposits in one bank exceeded 1 billion dollars USA and by the end of the year comprised 1,4 billion dollars USA. In 2006 retail loan volume increased by 2,8 times and comprised 1,3 billion dollars USA. Small and medium business portfolio almost doubled and comprised 1,2 billion dol- lars USA. 6,7 billion dollars USA was given to finance bank’s corporate customers. In 2006 BTA continued its policy on investor base diversification. Euro bond issue trans- actions in sterling pounds, Japanese yens as well as loans in Polish zlotys became first in the history of Kazakh banking system. Bank’s subsidiaries in insurance, pension, investment, mortgage, leasing segments of the financial market successfully developed and largely contributed into Bank «Turan- Alem» achievements. Our nearest strategic goal is to become the largest private financial institution in CIS. To achieve such goal it is necessary to develop BTA as a banking group. In 2006 we pur- chased majority interest in JSC «Temirbank», JSC «BTA Insurance» and JSC Insurance Company «London-Almaty» within this new development strategy. The bank’s development strategy is based on our main competitive advantage – inno- vations desire to develop our presence in new markets and diversify the range of our services. We constantly work to improve quality of service. In accordance with our business growth our social program is also extended. Bank «TuranAlem» social policy is focused on patronage where the Bank makes all the efforts to restore cultural and spiritual heritage of Kazakhstan. Our goal is investments into Kazakhstan’s future. Bank’s success was noted by international experts. «Euromoney» magazine gave BTA «The Best Borrower in the Developing Markets» award, «Trade Finance» magazine awarded the bank for participation in the best deal of 2006, «Itogi» magazine gave «The Bank of the Year in CIS» award. Notwithstanding the obvious progress we will not stop at what has been accomplished. The increasing competition in the banking market both in Kazakhstan and CIS makes us go a step ahead of the market, provides our customers with new high quality banking services. Feed forward lead strategy gives us confidence in future. Today BTA is a team of professionals, shareholders always ready to support the bank, customers who trust us. I am confident that 2007 will get us closer to achieve our strategic goal.

ULUSLARARASI İDİL - URAL VE TÜRKİSTAN ARAŞTIRMALARI DERGİSİ (IJVUTS), CİLT 2, SAYI 3, S. 119 – 149. Kazakistan - Tataristan İlişkilerine Analitik Bir Bakış Hayrettin SAĞDIÇ Özet 1991’de bağımsızlığını ilan eden Kazakistan, ilk dönemlerde “toprak bütünlüğünü güvence altına alma ve ekonomik kalkınma” hedeflerine odaklanarak çok yönlü bir dış politika stratejisi izlemiştir. Ekonomisi gelişen Kazakistan, 2000’li yılların ortalarından itibaren bölgesel güç olma yolunda ilerlemeye başlamış; Avrasya Ekonomik Birliği, Orta Asya Birliği, Türk Konseyi gibi birçok uluslararası inisiyatife öncülük etmiştir. Kazakistan’ın ilgi alanı Orta Asya coğrafyasıyla sınırlı değildir. Kazaklar; ortak dil, din, tarih, kültür bağlarına sahip oldukları İdil-Ural Türklüğüyle de yakın ilişkiler geliştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Kazakistan’da yaşayan 200 binin üzerindeki Tatar nüfusu, bu ilişkilerde bir köprü görevi görmektedir. Kazakistan’ın Tatar nüfusuna yönelik bu ilgisi, Tataristan’la kurduğu yakın ilişkilerin sonucudur. Kazak Hanlığını Altın Ordu Devleti’nin devamı, kendilerini de Altınordu’nun doğal mirasçısı kabul eden Kazaklar, ortak kökenleri dolayısıyla İdil- Ural Türklüğüne karşı sempati beslemektedir. Kazakistan Cumhurbaşkanı Kasımjomart Tokayev, Altın Ordu Devleti’ni Kazakların kültürel kodlarının önemli bir parçası olarak nitelendirmiştir. 2020-2022 yılları Kazakistan’da “Altın Ordu’nun Kuruluşunun 750. Yılı” olarak resmî etkinliklerle kutlanacaktır. Ekonomik- ticari boyutu bir kenara bırakılacak olursa bu bağlar, son yıllarda canlanan Kazakistan-Tataristan ilişkilerini izaha yeter. Ancak kanaatimizce bu yakın ilişkilerin bir nedeni de ülkenin özellikle kuzey bölgelerinde Kazak nüfusunun düşük olmasının oluşturduğu demografik risklere karşı Tatarların bir dayanak noktası olarak görülmesidir.

    VISSARION SHEBALIN: ORCHESTRAL MUSIC, VOLUME TWO by Paul Conway Vissarion Shebalin was one of the foremost composers and teachers in the Soviet Union. Dmitri Shostakovich held him in the highest esteem, keeping a portrait of his slightly older friend and colleague hanging on his wall and writing this heartfelt obituary: ‘Shebalin was an outstanding man. His kindness, honesty and absolute adherence to principle always amazed me. His enormous talent and great mastery immediately earned him burning love and authority with friends and the musical community’.1 Recent recordings have rekindled interest in the works of this key figure in mid-twentieth-century Soviet music. Vissarion Yakovlevich Shebalin was born in Omsk, the capital of Siberia, on 11 June 1902. His parents, both teachers, were utterly devoted to music. When he was eight years old, he began to learn the piano. By the age of ten he was a student in the piano class of the Omsk Division of the Russian Musical Society. Here, he developed a love of composition. In 1919 he completed his studies at middle school and entered the Institute of Agriculture – the only local university at that time. When a music college opened in Omsk in 1921, Shebalin joined immediately, studying theory and composition with Mikhail Nevitov, a former pupil of Reinhold Glière. In 1923 he was accepted into Nikolai Myaskovsky’s composition class at the Moscow Conservatoire. His first pieces, consisting of some romances and a string quartet, received favourable reviews in the press. Weekly evening concerts organised by the Association of Contemporary Music introduced him to the music of Bartók, Hindemith, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Webern.
